Fart every time she comes near your desk. Eventually she will assume you just smell of shit and avoid you at all costs.

Yeah a lot of this is happening now. Female marketers and advertisers taking designers concept and submitting them to art directs and bosses. Do you report to anyone? Always keep the people you report to in the loop of what you are doing. If you are your own department the best thing to do is make the important people always know what you are working on. Show your comps, 10minute sketches everything should be shown to the people who count. Do you have an office. Tell her you are busy and to cal and make an appointment if she has any questions. Do that and you will be fine but what user_0012 said. Try to sleep with her even if she is ugly just to proove a point.
Remember Karma and carry on!- work place ethics can take a long time to master .much different than seeing her in a bar74LEO

Remember you are both working for a company. What the company delivers to the client isn't yours, not anymore.
That said, sleep with her. Then tell her to come up with some fresh ideas herself.

Be professional, gracious and accept it as a compliment. Don't turn it into an in-house pissing contest.
Work together as a team.

People who can copy ideas like this are NOT designers, they're production assistants... and that can be a good thing as long as they can follow a style guide....and knock out the extra hundred pages of a catalog after you do the first few templates....
This was a normal thing in the days of agencies with clear staffing roles, like Creative Director, Art Director, Designer, Production Assistant.... after some bloodletting recently, lots of this has been upended..... you may be dealing with a bit of that...

work on a fake, awful comp whenever she comes near.
turn in your real, amazing comp and laugh when she turns in her shit lookalike

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

Throat punch her

STOP COPYING ME!!!

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

Put her in an arm bar until she taps out.
