Our Team

In 2002, Art Director Susan Whitney moved to "paradise" from Dallas, Texas, where she had worked as a graphic designer and art director for the American Heart Association National Center In-House Design Agency for almost 20 years.

Ursula Silva, graphic designer, has been with Trade Publishing for 4 years and is responsible for the eye-catching look of Generations Hawaii Magazine. Ursula has been awarded several Pa'i awards in design for Maui Wedding Planner, a Trade publication.
