PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ana Garza-Robillard Spotted Hobnobbing with Local Business Establishment

By Charlotte Riley

October 2004

MONTREAL, QC (Today's Designer) Graphic designer, Ana Garza-Robillard, was seen leaving a downtown restaurant where she participated in a power breakfast meeting of Montreal's movers and shakers. Trend spotters and fashion reports noted that she had paired a Dolce & Gabanna leather purse, from the 2004/2005 collection, with the new look for autumn, the tweed suit. When asked by reporters what her next stop would be, the notoriously shy Garza- Robillard replied softly, "I'm going shopping- for a client, naturally!" as her husband, Stéphane, whiskered her past the curious onlookers.

The talented owner of A Creative Logo and AR Design, Garza-Robillard came into the public eye in 1999 after police were brought in to disperse crowds gathering outside of her design company. The creativity of her logo designs combined with the astonishingly low prices had fans lining up for blocks.

She knows what the client wants! And for us industry people, it's great because she has single- handedly removed the element of kitsch, clichéd stationary and invitations. Before Ana there were a lot of - how do I say it- kétaine designs floating around out there. She's really helped infuse the wedding and event industry with good taste and style."
