See samples of my freelance projects and personal artwork: www.kaitlynbean.comI am a creative, passionate, detail-oriented, and people-driven professional with experience in the non-profit youth development industry and the private club and golf industries. My skill set combines directorial knowledge (budget development and oversight, large event planning, recruiting and hiring, curriculum development) with creative flair (social media management, graphic design, photography). I have practical experience with popular software and platforms, including Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, etc), Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Weebly, Microsoft Office, Canva, Daxko, CampMinder, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. My work as a camp program director allowed me to have a measurable impact on the lives of children, families, and adults in the greater Grand Rapids community. Camp is the perfect setting for people to take healthy risks in a safe, outdoor environment, leading to improvement in self confidence, appreciation for others, and an enjoyment of nature. My work in the private club industry gave me great creative freedom and the space to develop and strengthen my photography, copywriting, copy editing, and graphic design skills. It also allowed me to connect individually with current and prospective members, introduce them to our club and share its benefits with them, walk them through the application and onboarding process, and serve as a friendly, welcoming listening ear for their questions or concerns. I most recently served as a member of the planning committee for the Mid America Camping Conference, a Member at Large of the American Camp Association (ACA) Michigan Local Council of Leaders, an ACA accreditation Lead Visitor, and an alumna Chapter Advisor for the Kappa Rho chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity. I am available for freelance copywriting, graphic design, and web/social media management projects. Visit my website to see portfolio entries. I also enjoy running, reading, fiber crafts, trying new recipes and restaurants, and traveling.
