Beginning as a Contributing Writer, I eventually showed the crew my design abilities and began creating the layout, look, and feel of the print magazine while still contributing articles.

Joining the crew in their 10th season, I began contributing at least four articles and some revisions to each issue, as well as some blog content including photography.

I was selected as one of the first two artists in residence to fill Scalehouse's newly renovated studio space next to their Tin Pan Alley gallery, the Patricia Clark Studio.

I’ve worked with the Outsight crew on multiple projects that spanned the creative gamut including event artwork for Mt. Bachelor, two 8’ x 4’ murals for Avid Cider, an illustrated logo and branding package for local restaurant Vida Y Tacos, and storyboard illustrations for Bend’s Old Mill District to name a few.

I have been tasked with leading Smokin into the future with a new graphic direction on everything from snowboards, catalog layouts, print ads, web pages, and more. I create original graphics as well as contract leading artists and designers in order to improve brand awareness and sales.

With a main focus on Uptown Cheapskate franchises, I produce all manner of marketing materials for stores across the country including retargeting banners, in-store flyers, handouts, billboards, e-mail images, & more.

I have worn many hats in my time at Salty Peaks, but most recently I've balanced the responsibilities of Marketing Manager, Web Content Manager, Team Manager, and Graphic Designer. I have accomplished everything from increasing our social media presence and growing website traffic/conversions to creating modern and unique skateboard and magazine ad graphics.

I interned with Rome Snowboards at the 2009 SIA tradeshow in Las Vegas and the Colorado On-Snow Demo at Keystone, CO and every year since.I help set up and tear down the booth at the show, as well as assisted sales reps with sales presentations, organize the boots and bindings, and make sure reps had the product they needed.Since then, I've helped the Rome Rockies Rep with a number of on-snow demos by providing product knowledge to buyers and setting up whichever board and bindings they wanted to demo. From there I've become sub-rep in the Rockies, based out of Utah.
