Haley Hanna Rousek is the November Artist of the Month

While growing up in Oakland, art was ingrained in me. With an art

teacher and calligrapher for a mother, I had an innate habit of

doodling on anything and everything. I went to the University of

Nebraska-Lincoln where I graduated with a Bachelors in Fine Arts and

emphasis in Graphic Design. While in college, I got my feet wet as a

graphic designer at Student Involvement Information Strategies and

have been working in design ever since.

Currently, I work for Flagship Restaurant Group as a Graphic Designer.

Flagship Restaurant Group is an Omaha-based national restaurant

company committed to delivering innovative food and exceptional dining

experiences. Its concepts include: Blue Sushi Sake Grill, Roja Mexican

Grill, Blatt Beer & Table, Plank Seafood Provisions, Amsterdam Falafel

& Kabob and Flagship Commons (coming late winter 2015). Flagship

Restaurant Group has concepts in five markets over three states

(Nebraska, Texas and Colorado). At Flagship Restaurant Group I am

responsible for design both inside and outside of our restaurants,

including promotional print materials, web graphics and interior art.

Oakland-Craig graduate, Haley Hanna Rousek, is the November Artist of the Month. An open house will be held in her honor at the Swedish Heritage Center in Oakland on Sunday, Nov. 1st beginning at 11:00 a.m. Many of her designs are featured in the photos here, courtesy of Julie Johnson.
