About Brenda Webster

She holds a B.F.A. from Moore College of Art & Design, Philadelphia, PA and has over 21 years of experience in the advertising industry with a strong emphasis in retailing. She was employed by large retailers such as: Lionel Leisure (Kiddie City) as Graphic Designer / Production Manager and at Pomeroy's Department Store (a Division of Allied Corp.) as Divisional Art Director for their eight store region.
