about me
With over ten years of professional experience in graphic design, I can confidently say I have found the perfect career. I love being creative on a daily basis, helping people achieve their business goals, and being challenged by new projects and responsibilities.
Right out of college, I was fortunate to start my career as a production artist. The skills I learned in my few months at that position have carried through every job I've had since. I learned to work efficiently and focus on details due to limited turnaround time and tight deadlines.
From this job, I transitioned to a creative role at ReminderMedia. I worked with many industries and took pride in clean, organized design. I was the lead designer for their internal and external communications, which included setting and maintaining company branding guidelines. My responsibilities included overseeing and mentoring designers daily to ensure the quality of work for our customers met design standards, providing a new set of engaging content on a bimonthly basis, and designing covers, recipe cards, ads, and preview materials for American Lifestyle magazine.
I am currently the design manager at Star® Roses and Plants where I manage all the design projects and delegate the work between myself and a direct report. I love working on various projects, from trade show booth displays to advertisements, catalogs, websites, and point-of-purchase materials.
