Margo Chase

Margo Chase is a globally known graphic designer that started out as a designer in the music industry, designing album covers for different artists. In the music industry she started working with unknowns, then moved up to work with people like Madonna and Cher. While she admits it was fun, she ended up leaving the music industry because she felt that it was too limiting, and her ambition lead her to open up her own business to work on different creations in different fields.
Her background in music and typography gave her a time of hardship because most of her portfolio was gothic and dark, which lead to the turning away for potential clients, but now her business has reached high levels of success and her name is known with respect around the world.
