Liz Tapp Joins Widgets And Stone As Art Director

  • Thursday, September 3, 2015
Widgets & Stone announce that Liz Tapp has joined the company as art director.

Ms. Tapp has an 11-year history of print, digital and presentation design, most recently in California, where she served as a graphic designer at BAR Architects in San Francisco. She previously worked in Chicago as lead designer for Oral Health America, a national non-profit, and for Sponge Chicago, where she worked on projects for clients including Opportunity International, AutoZone and Cracker Barrel.
Over the years, she’s created work for many organizations including the American Heart Association, The Royal Order of Experience Design, the ACLU of Illinois, Auburn Seminary and Volunteers of America.

“We are fortunate to have Liz join our team,” said Design Director Mandy Meredith. “Her expertise, creative energy, intellect, and integrity will be an asset for our colleagues, our clients, and our community.”

Passionate about documenting regional creativity, Ms. Tapp collaboratively art-directed, curated and published Mule Magazine, an independent arts and media magazine, from 2004-2010. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, where she was a William E. Brock Scholar. Her work has received an AIGA TEN Show Gold Award, a Chattanooga ADDY Award, and was recently included in Caleb Ludwick’s The First TIme She Fell, which won a 2012 PRINT Magazine Regional Design Award.

“I first knew Liz as a UTC design student, and then as an intern with Widgets & Stone—and even then, I was impressed by her initiative, her work ethic and her way with people,” said Director Paul Rustand. “Needless to say, she has only grown more talented over the years and we are very excited to have her returning to join our team here.”

“I couldn’t be happier to be back in Chattanooga as part of the Widgets family,” Ms. Tapp said.

Ms. Tapp will join the design studio in late September.
