As a graphic designer and architecture student with more than 20 years of experience, I specialize in creating impactful branding and marketing campaigns for events, galas, and fundraisers. My strong understanding of color, composition, and visual storytelling also shapes my architectural work, where I’m drawn to designing distinctive, expressive spaces that balance bold creativity with human experience.

Interested in branding for your upcoming gala, awards ceremony, or fundraiser?

I specialize in creating complete, production-ready event brand systems — built fast, cohesive, and ready to execute across digital, large-scale graphics, and print.

The hardest thing about working with Liz is having to choose which of her designs to use. She listens to our ideas and transforms them into works of art that represent our organization beautifully. That she is a pleasure to work with is the icing on the cake. I cannot recommend her enough.

Working with you was one of the best decisions we made in the planning for our event! Your work is beautiful and well-crafted, and everything turned out great. We were so glad that you hit the nail on the head with our event logo, which could then be quickly applied to all collateral.

I have had the pleasure of working with Liz since her days with AARP and once she moved on we continued to work together on many projects. Liz’s creativity comes from the understanding of how to tell a story from its evolution to its completion. How to develop a campaign that will be impactful in all aspects of the story and beyond. She is collaborative, open, focused and very driven to create experiences that will not just easily come to life but will live on long after.

Stratus has worked with Liz McGrail on many different projects over the last few years. Liz is creative and very timeline oriented which makes for a great partnership. She has worked with us on event concepting, invitation design, and comms designs. Working with Liz on event concepting is always such a pleasure as she brings creative and fresh ideas to the table that meet the clients requests but also keep in mind budget and timeline.
