Description
Frances Mahoney is a born and raised Mainer as she grew up in Portland. Her passion for art and design started at a young age as she drew up fun illustrations. She attended Maine College of Art (MECA) and started out her college career going the illustration route but then made the decision of majoring in graphic design where her heart truly gravitates towards. She has worked for many renowned businesses including Sea Bags and Pulp + Wire but found her true calling with her independent design studio, I Before E Design (Frances will fill you in on how that name came about). She has worked with a variety of clients including small businesses located in Maine to national clients located on the West Coast. Frances and Kristan met while working at Sea Bags and became close friends and they continue to be close to this day. Frances has partnered up with Makers of Maine on various photoshoots including Maine Craft Association's Maine Craft Weekend, Makers Market at Thompson's Point, and recently with Mahoosuc Guide Services in Newry.
