Heather M. Clifford – Founder and President

Heather M. Clifford is the founder and president of Infusion Studio LLC. She has personally designed and executed such major seasonal programs as the Exxon "Ski with the Tiger" program, Irving Oil's "Hitch a Ride" program, and the Oktoberfest program at Pats Peak.

"I love what I do! I enjoy coming up with different concepts
for my clients' projects. I listen to their needs and then
I return to my desk and start hammering away on different
layouts and designs. My clients trust me – they know I will get
the job done in a timely manner and will not let them down."

The Vertical Challenge ski and snowboard promotional tour, now in its 22nd year, is one of Heather's proudest achievements. She has secured major multiple-year sponsorships by such household names as Mountain Dew, helping raise the profile of this family-friendly event and its charitable support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Before founding Infusion Studio in 2002, Heather Clifford was the vice president of creative services at Good Stuff Entertainment, working with clients that included the New England Patriots, Budweiser, Red Baron Pizza, and Dunkin' Donuts.

She holds a bachelor's degree in art from Plymouth State College, where she majored in graphic design, and she regularly takes part in continuing education through such institutions as New Horizons, SkillPath, and Granite State College to keep up with developments in graphic and web design software.
