Reminds me of grade school when this one girl was copying this other kid in art class. So he's like, look at me, he started making these random strokes on the paper. She watched, then started making these random meaningless strokes in the same circular motion. It was pretty hysterical.

Actually there should always be a superior (non-executive) over-viewing and giving hands on input in the team's work, so these 'incidents' won't happen. Sadly most of the ad agencies don't understand this and rely on individual designers to coordinate themselves.
- but she even told me she was Creative Director of her own agency at one time, maybe she wants to be my boss...robotron3k
- if she has more experience than you - she's a leech and she probably wants to be boss, be careful.pauliusuza
- yeah in these economic times I'm noticing people trying to create positions.74LEO

next time she asked to see your work say NOPE and be an asshole about. if you do it right she won't come around you anymore or you can buy a Big Black Guy Suit it repels people with just a causal glance.
I can rent you mine.- what are you saying? I am a Big Black Guy...robotron3k
- It's not about showing or not showing. It's about why she wants to see it.pauliusuza

She is a leech fail. Since you guys are both CD's, express to her that it would be best to present 2 different options to the client.
Express to her that you are concerned with the output of the work coming off too similar and ask her if there are any rabbits in her hat that she can pull out to keep 2 distinct styles going to present.
Similar material between the work should not exceed 40%.
- umm, sounds good but when will I be able to spank her??robotron3k
- Is she even spank worthy?jteore
- no©robotron3k

why don't you go over her desk and start copying by her side what she's doing, after she copied you...
- um, perhaps because she has way less ideas than me...robotron3k
- you copy her in the same work she copied you, that's what I mean...oey
- that's why you should do it! that way you will confuse her...you can even say you ran out of ideas...oey

is it really a problem if someone likes your work and is inspired by it? what exactly are you worried about?
she obviously does it cos you're the better designer, and she won't suddenly become better than you by copying a few of your styles and elements.
Let it happen, let her learn from you. Everything you've learned is from other designers.
- It's a problem because 10 million people in the US are out of work and she calls herself a CD.jteore
- a compact disk?SlashPeckham

Maybe he's afraid that some day they will criticize her and she turns around and says: "You have to blame my mentor, everything I've learned was with him!"
That's scary dude...
