Though not a designer herself, Pam helped shaped many distinctive brands through many multi-faceted branding, marketing and communication programs. Among her clients: Adobe, School of Visual Arts, Academy of Art University, Mohawk Paper, Moo, and Strathmore Paper. To name a few. Graphic Design: USA named Pam to its “People to Watch” list.
Pam is a founding member of AIGA Connecticut, the professional association for design. She served on the AIGA National board for three years.
In 2012, Pam was awarded the AIGA Fellow Award, one of the most distinguished honors in the profession. Chosen by her peers, the AIGA Fellow award is given to individuals in recognition of exceptional achievement, service or contribution to the field of design and visual communication.

After Williams and House closed its doors Pam took a creative sabbatical, picked up a color wheel, and started painting. Pam now lives on Cape Cod with her sweetheart and their dog. There she works, makes art, volunteers, and collaborates with other emerging creative artists.
