For as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with creating, tinkering, and tech.I wanted to get to work fast, so at the age of 16, I decided to go get a job as an intern at a packaging company. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some amazing teams, creating inspiring and impactful work. At every place I go, I find that I'm happiest when I'm contributing to a collaborative and diverse team. After 10 years in the design field, I was laid off in April 2020, the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. I took this opportunity to learn subjects I had always wanted to learn, make new things.As an intern at a packaging company, I learned what it means to be successful in a corporate environment.Between errands and making thousands of mockups, I made time to listen in on client intake calls, help with photoshoots, and build our server file organization system. As an environmental designer at a signage company, I learned that specialized equipment maintenance is important and challenging. Managing a project for Disney taught me how to handle many moving parts, and to make sure that every little detail is perfect. Interpreting client requests, communicating effectively in an office environment, learning how to collaborate and brainstorm with a small team were all new challenges to me, and I willingly took them head on. As an in-house designer for a communications corporation, I managed national server assets for over 235 radio stations, national concert events, sales materials, and crafted business to business brands. In every role, I wanted not only to exceed expectations, but to master a new skill. I love to create amazing and impactful work, but more importantly, I like to work with inspiring people. I pride myself on my ability to realize a challenge, take it on directly, ask questions, and rally a team to complete the common goal we all share--to create incredible work.Professional SkillsIntake call experience | National project development | Asset management | Server management | FPO write ups | Pre-press experience | Facilitating design critiques | Self starter | Detail oriented | FlexibleCommunicative | Illustration & UI graphics | Strategy & vision presentations | WireFrames & mock-ups with adobe XD | Adobe creative suite | Motion design | Brand identity | Logo designCertificationsComp TIA+ December 2021
