I majored in English at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA. Throughout college, I was continually asked what I would do with a degree in English. I boldly told all who asked that I would do, and could do, whatever I wanted.
I truly believed that, and still do, though I did pick up a second major (Communication) plus a minor (Writing). No one asked me what I would do with my Comm degree; instead there was the requisite question: “Oh, are you going to be a journalist?” Both of my majors taught me about life and the pursuit of happiness, and perhaps, indirectly, about love. I like to think that my knowledge of literature lends my designs a certain classic element, while my communication skills allow me to clearly deliver the message.
I got a day job to pay the rent, and followed it up with a more intensive marketing position. But odd little design jobs kept popping up, and I found that I they were what brightened my day. Voila! Inkling.
I’ll take any project you throw my way, and I promise to give you something that reflects you or your company’s personality. Big or small, I venture to change the world, replacing ugly marketing with fantastic design, one tri-fold brochure at a time.
Linda Misiura was born in Scranton, PA (yes, where The Office is filmed). After growing up in the delightfully named Hop Bottom, a town of 1 stop light and home to a renowned sheep herding competition, she moved to Allentown (and they’re closing all the factories down...) to pursue a degree in English and Communication at Cedar Crest College, an all women’s college.
There she fell in love with learning and the idea that anything is possible, as well as with her inspiring professors. She served as the Managing & Photo editor of the college newspaper, The Crestiad, and also the Features editor. She was the president of the literary club Preterite, vice president of the English National Honor Society, Secretary of the National Communication Honor Society, and winner of the prestigious Crest Award.
After graduating with top honors, Linda moved South to discover what the cuisine down here is really like. Since then, she has worked for the top rated La Therapie SPA AT PRESON, helping the owner, Nina Milano to market the spa, and for two brokers at the independent Terra Nova Global Properties, a Real Estate firm in downtown Carrboro, a town which has stolen her heart. Collard greens (though admittedly not cooked “southern style”) have become a mainstay in her life.
