Who is the Red Queen?
Roxie Vine, also called Roxanne, has been designing anything you can look at for twenty years. Passionate about art, creation, design, science, music, and cats, she has branched through varying levels of design and experience in weddings and special events, floral and interior design, fashion and clothing design, and graphic design for print and for web. Coming from a multi-cultural background with an insatiable curious nature, she loves asking “What if we…?” and working as part of a team to find the answer.

Who is she?
Recently she has applied her accumulated talent and skills to the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry, with a focus on construction management and transportation related projects. Her organizational efforts and clean visual style have helped gain client interest, create contract-earning proposals, and award-winning submittals for major transportation and infrastructure agencies across the Golden State. When she’s not heads deep in proposals she’s probably doing yoga, taking photos, playing a video game, talking about food, or learning from her cats how to be lazy (the biggest challenge in her life!)
What has she been up to?
“Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

She has also appeared on the AEC podcast “No Really, Everything’s Fine” twice to share some excellent graphic design tips and tricks for marketers.
She is currently leading marketing initiatives for the Higher Education practice at HMC Architects, practicing from offices across California, Washington, and Oregon.
