Over the years, I've worn many hats in the spirit of entrepreneurship and building happy partnerships. In the past, I've illustrated book covers for online press companies, designed logos for tech companies with patent-pending technology, wrote promotional copy for banks, and designed, managed, and developed numerous websites for a variety of local and nation-wide companies. As a professional in the vast web of the digital industry, I've always strived to keep my tools sharp and my awareness for quality up-to-date with current trends. And who am I kidding... I try to have some fun!

Maclyn is boutique on purpose. Our people come from great companies working with amazing clients, but we wanted just a little bit more. We wanted to affect real change for our clients and make a measurable impact without getting caught in the weeds of a giant corporation. We’ve brought together the best talent Chicagoland has to offer from major shops with major brands like Coca Cola, Dunkin’ Donuts, McDonald’s, United Airlines, Caterpillar, Pfizer and Citi. We leverage this talent and experience to do more for our brands. We have the environment that allows us to think differently than our cumbersome industry peers and solve client challenges in new and groundbreaking ways.We pride ourselves on our approach to the brands we represent. When we engage with a brand, we learn as much as we can so that we become part of the DNA of that brand. As we learn, we untangle knots – we unravel riddles – we clear the clutter. The process allows us to find insights and avenues that might not otherwise have been discovered. We are a boutique agency that finds the magic in our client’s brands and then shares that magic with the world.Maclyn is artists and architects, storytellers and sages, masters of design. Maclyn is the ultimate creative advertisement agency—the place you want to be.

The one-stop shop for all of your marketing needs, NextMedia 360 is a digital interaction company set on advancing the campaigns of local advertisers and radio stations. As a web designer for NextMedia 360, I see every project from conception to consultation. Every designer in this company is bred to accomplish numerous roles and develop working relationships with their clients, and that has been the key to our success. The idea is that, after paying good money, no one should have to pull a ticket in line to have their story ignored and their brand standardized to that of a carbon copy. This is a good and honest company.I get on the phone with my clients and take the time to learn their story. From there, I develop brands, design websites, script HTML and CSS, write persuasive copy, fulfill SEO best practices, and then hop back on the phone with the client.

At the Business Solutions Center (BSC) - a paid internship - I inspired a new identity for the organization. My initial responsibility was to conceptualize and create publicity and working materials for a new entrepreneurship development class hosted by the BSC director, such as a new e-blast and a "How to Create Your Own Business" workbook, as well as proofreading and editing important documents.However, as time and inspiration progressed - and with careful planning and communication with the BSC - I saw and filled a need to innovate the organization's public identity by invigorating the logo with a sharper look, recreating e-blasts, redesigning brochures and images, and rewriting the business message. I also redesigned the look of their summer youth entrepreneurship camp.By working towards a new identity, I helped set the BSC on a new publicity path with the anticipation of new potential clients.Specialties included:| Copywriting| Graphic Design (Adobe Creative Suite)| E-blasts (Constant Contact)| Time Management with Multiple Projects| Indepth Content & Audience Research
