Let me introduce myself. My name is Edwina and I’m on an interesting ride at the moment. Most people are thinking retirement at my age but when you’re a self-employed graphic designer there is no retirement and right now, I’m experiencing one of the most exciting times of my life.

Now, I’ve had my share of exciting moments. Being accepted into Parsons fashion design program. I was 17. What a thrill! Discovering fashion illustration at Ray Vogue College of Art. What a lifesaver! Getting the advertising art directors’ position at Marshall Field’s. Out of my way, suckers! Picking up and moving to Atlanta. Gotta go for it! Snagging the graphic designers’ position at the Alliance Theater. This is FUN! Meeting the man I’d been waiting my whole life for and knowing after our second date that I would marry him. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Halleeeee-lujaaaah!

But my baby, WINONA, INC. is the pinnacle. The ultimate. She’s my masterpiece, representing over thirty years of creative sweat. She’s been online since 2013 and now here we are ten years later. She’s finally in development with WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY as an animated series!

The official pitch package has been completed, we have a super-hot celebrity…
