Beverly Wladkowski
18 years as a Graphic Designer, 10 of those as an Art/Creative Director. Add to that 10 years of website design and management. Beverly Wladkowski has been putting her creative energy to use for decades. And, with a name as hard to pronounce, it's no wonder she fits with Aduro.

Beverly has worked for such names as Don Schaaf and Friends in DC and The Voegele Company in California. And her portfolio includes design work for San Jose Sharks, Lucidity Research Technologies, and Black Box Theatre. Amid all of this work Beverly creates her own line of jewelry, bcreations.
