I can't ever remember not making ads. I grew up making them. My wonderful parents, Bill and Betty Woods were the publishers of our hometown newspaper in Arkansas. Knowing that I inherited their artistic abilities, they required me to walk to the Herald office after school everyday to do ads. I liked it!

I attended Memphis College of Fine Arts in Memphis, Tennessee. I graduated with a degree in Advertising Design. Over the years, I have worked for numerous excellent designers, creative directors and ad agencies in Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas. I have also won several gold, silver and bronze Addy awards. My brochure design for Winrock International won Best of Show at the Arkansas Addy Awards.

Thank you for browsing my portfolio.

Besides Patti’s talent, her best attribute is her balance. She’s fast, flexible and cheerful… BIG pluses if you’ve ever dealt with a lot of creatives!

Boyd Blackwood, Blackwood & Co.

Patti Rye is simply the best, most versatile designer and art director I have ever worked in my over 40 years in advertising. She’s excellent in every style, from whimsical to formal, consumer and business-to-business. She’s a master in every medium. Equally important, she’s very fast and very easy to work with. And even more importantly, she’s a wonderful human being. Try her. You’ll love her.
