With over 38 years of design experience, including working as a designer and art director for World Bank and USAID, she brings expertise in design, photography, project management and creative solutions for worldwide regions.
“I am a believer in serving the community – in a capacity where I can voice my opinion & hopefully inspire the organizations & the general public by sharing the value of art & creativity… and letting them know that the arts are important to a community, education, tourism, etc. etc. The value of having a community that embraces the arts thrives.
Strauss is a graduate of Leadership Prince William, Class of 2010 and has served on numerous non-profit boards or advisory councils over the years. She sits on the board of directors for Project Mend-A-House, Prince William Library Foundation, and the management team for the new Washington’s Backyard Artisan Trail management team.

She received her certification as a Creatively Fit Coach in 2011; this certification dovetails perfectly into her photography, as well as her art. Through her creative classes, she now shares her artist’s view of life.
