shade 2: ethel grey, chief snack officer
For more than 30 years, two shades of grey has helped businesses and nonprofits build brands, tell their stories, and connect with audiences through thoughtful design and strategic marketing.
I earned a B.F.A. in Advertising Design from Syracuse University, complemented by summer studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University while at Syracuse. I began my career at advertising agencies in Connecticut and Westchester before launching two shades of grey in 1995. Since then, I've partnered with organizations of every size to solve creative challenges through smart, strategic design, from logos and brand identities to environmental graphics and everything in between.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me traveling, on the water, making New Haven pizza, sailboat racing, or spending time with Ethel, my super cool French Bulldog and the official second shade of grey..
