We believe that design is a tool in the larger communication picture. We view design as a collaborative process with our clients. A large part of our job as designers is listening and observing, tapping into our client's knowledge of their products, services, audience, and market. We bring to the table solid ideas, creativity, and new ways of solving problems. Good design should be intuitive for the end user, and accessible to all.
Why muffinman? Several years ago, Hilary started a tradition called “Muffin Fridays” to give friends and coworkers something to look forward to each week. Rather than leave the muffins behind, she brought them along. She is always perfecting her latest recipe.
A graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, Hilary has worked as a designer in both studios and agencies in Pittsburgh. She brings with her experience in a wide range of project types and mediums, from small identity systems to complex annual reports; from print mediums to web design & programming. Hilary is an active member of AIGA and also serves as an adjunct instructor at Carnegie Mellon University, where she teaches web design and programming courses. When not designing, you can find Hilary outside or in the kitchen. A native of Washington, DC, she now considers Pittsburgh to be her home.
After moving to Pittsburgh from her native Celina, Ohio, Maple quickly found her niche as a substandard memo writer. Since joining Muffinman Studios, she has expanded her skills to include sleeping on the job, excessive barking, surfing the web, and stealing muffins. When not in the office, you can find her listening to her favorite tunes by Gnarls Barkley and Snoop Dogg. Please don't hesitate to drop her a line if you want someone to play with — she loves leaving the office early.
