Unless specifically stated in a contract, the designer retains copyright to the design. Ethically, it's a little murky not to spell this out in a contract, but legally she may be correct. I would hope that the original contract would have been clear on those points.

This article gives a good overview of the situation, although it isn't to be taken as a substitute for legal advice.
