Helen’s daily goal is to make printed pieces so compelling they’ll not only entice the reader to act but also stay out of the recycling bin as long as possible.
Born in New Zealand but raised in Illinois, she earned her BFA with high honors in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois, with a one-month study abroad in Warsaw, Poland. She has served as President of the Colorado chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design, and was recently honored with the distinguished AIGA Fellow award for excellence in her profession.
Since founding EnZed Design 21 years ago, Helen’s reputation with clients is “a designer who can transform any project into an intriguing communications piece.”
Her work has been featured in HOW Magazine, Graphic Design USA, Creativity 32, and Paperspecs.com and has received honors from Art Directors Club of Denver (now The One Club Denver), AIGA Colorado, and the Business Marketing Association.
Helen has judged the UCDA professional design competition, the ADCD student show, and the AIGA Colorado Robert Taylor Scholarships and Professional Grant.
Her obsessions are amazing textured papers, unique color combinations, surface patterns, unusual office supplies, tennis, plants that bloom all summer, small purses, really lovely serif fonts, and tiny cars. Helen has attended the Paper Fashion Show regularly since its inception and designed a dress with art director Tracey Ranta for the 2009 show.
