Susan Noll is a Graphic Design professional with extensive experience designing for large financial corporations as well as small businesses and individuals. She attended Pratt Institute toward a Masters Degree program in Communication Design and graduated cum laude from St. Francis College, both schools in New York. Susan continues a lifelong goal of expanding her abilities through participation in classes, workshops and group activities with other artists.

One of Susan's many strengths is the ability to listen and focus on what clients really need and to explain the options available to them. She wants each client know that their needs are special. She is responsive and meets promised deadlines. Susan also does her best to help clients with last minute projects - we all know the unexpected sometimes happens.

In addition to her design skills, she prides herself on making people around her smile. She spent 20 years practicing as the Creative/Art Director & Senior Graphic Designer for a major financial institution in New York, which was a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange.

During her years in management, Leadership Development was taken very seriously and as part of this, Susan participated in a curriculum of classes to develop the skills that taught her to appreciate the variety of social styles exhibited by different people. This translates incredibly well to interacting well with vendors and clients.

In addition to graphic design, Susan has been painting for a number of years as well and is currently involved in the development of the Vallejo Waterfront Artists which will allow local artists to show and sell their work at the Vallejo Watefront.

Susan also was a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician for six years in New York City and bartended at a friend's establishment. This combined experience was not only personally rewarding, but provided a strong foundation for remaining focused during difficult or unusual situations.
