HI, I’M HEATHER!

Freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler

About Me

I’m a graphic designer with 20+ years experience as an in-house creative. A couple of years ago, I jumped into the unknown leaving my long-time job as a creative manager. After a brief sabbatical to immerse myself in my presidential project and figure out What’s Next, I stumbled quite unexpectedly (and accidentally) into freelancing. Much to my surprise, I loved it. (Still do.)

If you’re looking for a graphic designer who dabbles in illustration and can spew out presidential trivia on demand, I can’t think of anyone else you’d want to hire.

LET’S CONNECT

  • graphic design

    Print & digital design

    Brochures, invitations, advertisements, billboards, social media and web graphics, logos, and more. Short-staffed or buried under a backlog of design projects? I remember that feeling! Let me jump in and tame the chaos.

  • illustration

    Quirky doodles

    Light motion graphics, too.

    (If you’re looking for a hyper-realistic hands, you’ve come to the wrong place.)

  • content creation

    History stuff

    Blog posts, email newsletters, social media graphics, and more. I love doodling my way through history and can help help promote your book, exhibit, or historic site.

  • Winston Churchill: "you certainly have left golden footprints behind you."

    “You certainly have left golden footprints behind you.”

    (about Grover Cleveland)

  • “She inherited the brains of the family.”

    Lewis F. Allen
    (about his niece/Grover Cleveland’s sister, Rose)

  • “A sort of intellectual cocktail.”

    Alfred Stieglitz
    (on a Picasso painting)

  • “She’s a pain in the ass.”

    Richard Nixon

  • "mundane & boring"

    “Mundane & boring.”

  • “Heather is imaginative, creative, and incredibly dependable. She’s become my go-to for a wide variety of projects because I know I’ll always get quality work delivered on time. Beyond her technical skills, she’s a genuine pleasure to collaborate with — responsive, thoughtful, and always willing to iterate until we achieve the best results.”

    James M.
    Director of Communications

  • “Heather is one of the most responsive and intuitive designers I’ve ever worked with. Swift, yet strategic, she shows an unmatched attention to detail. And she’s a heck of a lot of fun. Five stars!”

    Dave M.
    Art Director

  • “During our rebrand, Heather played a key role in bringing our company values to life through beautifully designed icons that truly captured who we are. She ‘got’ us right away and delivered creative, meaningful visuals that are now an integral part of our brand.”

    Sarah C.
    Managing Director, Global Marketing

  • “I learned about Heather through her amazing POTUS Notice emails, and thought she’d be an ideal guest to present to my design students. Her visits have become a yearly tradition. Her presentation style is equally hilarious and informative, and each one of her slides is a work of art. My students talk about her visit for weeks afterward because Heather makes the topic so engaging and fun. Absolutely one of the best presenters we’ve had.”

    Matt McElligott
    Children’s book author and illustrator
    Professor of Graphic and Media Design, Russell Sage College

  • “Heather Rogers is unequivocally my favorite preeminent presidential doodler.”

    Strategist & writer
