Why the mosaic bird as a logo? "When WileyDesign was a start-up business, I had just moved to the forested high plains south of Denver," Carol explains. "I took many photos of the vivid blue Colorado sky and abundant wildlife. My photos often captured interesting birds soaring in the sky or perched on the top of very tall pine trees. Those daily nature observations were, and still are, a constant source of mind-clearing inspiration. The lofty bird and the mosaic pattern represent the creativity and craftsmanship I strive for in my work."
