Judith is a Chicago illustrator and designer creating bold, colorful—and often typographic—artwork for murals, publications, marketing, brands, and experiences. Born and raised in the Midwest, Judith is the daughter of an immigrant. After working at several design firms, she decided to start her own practice in 1998. Along the way, she's been inspired by traveling—to all 50 U.S. states, Mexico, Netherlands, France, Wales, England, Italy, Costa Rica, and Iceland. Her work is influenced her my love for mid-century modern design, wood type, and pop art.
Judith's work is recognized and published in over 40 design books and magazines, including Communication Arts, Uppercase Magazine, HOW Magazine, Graphic Design USA, and Type Directors Club’s The World’s Best Typography Annual. It’s also included in the collections of Newberry Library and Chicago Design Archive.
Creating public art is a part of her practice. Projects include a mural in Costa Rica and at Harold Washington College and representing Illinois in a collaborative 19th Amendment flag design, displayed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. and at the William J. Clinton Library and Museum in Arkansas.
Judith has a BFA from Ball State University and recently completed a software development certificate at City Colleges of Chicago.
