Mona Pennypacker, Principal

As a graphic design artist, her list of credits is long, impressive, and as befitting a highly creative individual, unusual to say the least.

She’s a prize winning moviemaker and published book author. As an illustrator, her art for the book Mal de Fantasma – a Hispanic legend told in both English and Spanish – is bold, stirring and consummately executed. Although she has a classical design education (i.e. analog) and a degree in Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, Baltimore, her traditional roots did not stop her from embracing digital technology as it revolutionized the field of design. If anything, her knowledge of the traditional arts like pencil, oil, collage, and printmaking has made Mona’s approach to design with digital technology especially impactful.

That’s why her creative business websites show a powerful combination of graphic design skills and business insight.

A Unique Graphic Design Agency

Mona sees things differently and that’s exactly the kind of eye you want leading your web site design or branding campaign. She has a command of visual composition and telling detail that few other designers can really approach. When you work with her – she is highly involved in all the company’s creative output – you will not only appreciate this vision but also enjoy her relaxed yet responsible working style. This is exactly the working style that has produced so many successful and creative business websites.

World Travels

As a resident of the world, she has been an active traveler from an early age. She has lived in Queenstown, New Zealand; Telluride & Denver & Vail, Colorado; Baltimore, Maryland; Goteborg, Sweden; El Paso, Texas and now Fort Collins, Colorado. This travel has broadened her horizons and underpinned her visual approach with her graphic design agency. She has seen many cultures, lived in their midst…and absorbed their ideas about fine art – and then applied them to her work as a graphic design artist. That’s good for Creative Acorn clients. They are the beneficiaries of her singular focus and idiosyncratic lifestyle.
