A lapsed Philosophy major with an MFA in theatrical lighting design and 18 years experience in the web industry, Eve is either a quirky dinner party guest or a source of random knowledge. As Beaconfire's Creative Director, she has created award winning online experiences for The Nature Conservancy, Ad Council, American Diabetes Association, Feeding America, Foundation Center, AFL-CIO, and the American Museum of Natural History. When not making the world a better place one website at a time, Eve rocks South by Southwest Interactive as the creative muscle behind the Beacon Lounge. Eve also blogs for the Huffington Post, is a frequent speaker about design communication for nonprofits, has an unusual attachment to ampersands, and wears an inordinate amount of black.
