A visual and interpersonal virtuoso, Colleen earned her BA in Communications from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her BFA in Visual Communications from the Illinois Institute of Art at Chicago. She then served as art director, print and production manager and general cat-herder at a local publishing company, running two successful magazines.

A lifelong Chicago resident, she loves grabbing brunches in her city but relishes any chance to escape to Michigan for a getaway. She and her husband are the proud parents of their fur-baby, Jezebel the cat.
