In 1973, she entered the Cranbrook Academy of Art program which was, at the time, under the leadership of Michael and Katherine McCoy.  In 1975, she received her BFA.  Two years later, she moved to New York to work for Vignelli Associates from 1977-1978.  During this time, she was researching the history of American graphic design post World War II.

Along with "Perspecta 19", she also designed the Chamber Works and Theatrum Mundi portfolios for the architect Daniel Libeskind, and the book of architect John Hejduk entitled "Mask of Medusa" in 1985.  Her work on the designs of these books helped launch her fast-growing reputation for thoughtful and distinctive design in books on architecture, art, and design.  Her MFA thesis entitled "Trends in American Graphic Design: 1930-1955" was recognized as an important contribution to design scholarship and led to many commissions for essays.  During the early 1980s, she taught in the University of Houston’s architecture school.  In 1983, she wrote "More Than A Few Questions About Graphic Design Education," which was regarded as a very influential essay.  It was first published in "The Design Journal".
