After graduation I worked at SBG Partners, then went to Landor Seattle for a few years. I now live in San Francisco and am a Design Director at Landor. As counterbalance to the demands of the almighty "Brand," I have taken up ultra-marathon cycling and recently competed in the Race Across America (RAAM).

Shirley Rutland is married to fellow Cal Poly alum (and staff member!) Steve and currently resides in Arroyo Grande, CA. She worked as a graphic designer for several years after graduation--both in the Sacramento area and in San Luis Obispo--then she took her work "home" after becoming mom to her two children. She has more recently focused her efforts on watercolor landscape painting, which she studied under former Cal Poly instructor Robert Reynolds. She recently completed a show in San Luis Obispo, along with fellow art & design alum Eliza Nicholson. One of her paintings was also selected to be in the annual Aquarius Watercolor show at the San Luis Obispo Art Center in January 2005.

Email: geri@gerizarate.com

Started out in packaging design in North Beach, San Francisco for 3 years then decided to freelance beginning 1991 until now. I like the flexibility of working when I want and being able to travel when I can. I live in Berkeley with my husband Tom Decker (ceramic artist and instructor). We have a daughter - Mira - born 2004. I'm still in love with photography and thinking this will support me in the 2nd half of my career... Freelance design & production has allowed me to live comfortably but photography has kept me alive. I'm grateful to have studied both at Cal Poly.

After graduation I worked for 5 years as a staff photographer at the Contra Costa Times Newspaper where I photographed the World Series, Super Bowl, Oakland Fire Storm and Loma Preita Earthquake and won several awards. I left the Newspaper to drive around the perimeter of the US and photograph people who live there. Upon return I started my business here in the San Francisco Bay Area shooting people for major national magazines and products for Fortune 500 companies.
