About Marilyn Fenn Design

Marilyn Fenn Design is based on over 20 years of extensive experience working as a designer and illustrator in a number of companies and organizations. I also bring a deep educational background in an array of subjects, from purely artistic to social to totally technical. See my background below for more detailed information.

I usually operate as a full-time one-person freelance artist, illustrator, and designer, working out of my home office. Because of this, I take on a limited number of projects, so that each of my clients can receive as much of my full personal attention as possible.

If you're located in the Austin area, I can meet with you at my office, your place of business, or somewhere in-between. If you're outside of Austin, we can work together by phone or email.

Should your project require skills more specialized than my own with database development, web application programming, copywriting, or extensive animation and 3D design, I partner with exceptionally talented colleagues to meet all of your design needs.

 flower Background

I started creating visual design for the web at IBM in 1994, and began creating complete web sites in 2000, many of which have won awards. I also have over 20 years experience creating technical illustrations, having begun when the standard tools were rapidograph pens on linen, mylar and vellum. I began using a computer as a tool for design and illustration in the early 80's...and haven't stopped.

I gained a lot of my experience in design and interactivity working in the Information Design and Development and Ease-of-Use departments at IBM Austin, and most recently, in the Marketing department at Austin Regional Clinic.

I have worked in design and illustration positions at the following companies:

  • Austin Regional Clinic, Marketing
  • IBM Austin
  • Stokes Imaging Services
  • The School of the Art Institute of Chicago Media Department
  • Execucom Corporation
  • Lockheed
  • Rockwell International
  • and various smaller enterprises

I have been an artist practically since the crib, and graduated with a BFA in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I also have a BA in English and an AA in Fine Art. In addition to these subjects, I have studied web design, graphic design, traditional animation, 3D modeling and animation, photography, interior design, psychology, several foreign languages...and more. And I continue to paint. You can see some of my fine artwork here: www.marilynfenn.com.
