I have had the pleasure of working with CODi's Director of Marketing and Director of Product Development to mock-up, refine, and complete flat print-ready packaging designs with Spot UV overlays for 12+ products. I love this work! Working with a brand to refresh old designs or create new innovative looks with modern design trends is my favorite type of work!

I had the amazing opportunity to live-stream engineer, provide video production and photography, and create engaging YouTube episodes filled with vibrant motion graphics. I loved working with the owner and team, along with all the celebrity comedians who were amazing people on and off camera. This allowed me to use and improve my creative skills across multiple media and vehicles, including large-scale vinyl print, video capture and gimble work, sound mixing, video editing, and motion graphics.

Interning for the Philadelphia Business Journal as a senior in college was a wonderful experience! It can be a fast-paced world with tight deadlines for which you must quickly provide quality work. I interned alongside the Event Marketing team delivering eye-catching graphics and advertisements for events like the 2012 Corporate Philanthropy Summit, and the 2012 40-Under-40 MassMutual Citizenship Award Ceremony. Also, I had the opportunity to create three distinct logos. One for the 2012 Philadelphia Business Journal South Jersey Summit, and two collaboration product logos. One with Triumph Brewing Company and the other with Bassetts Ice Cream. These collaboration logos were exciting to create because I love the challenge of bringing two brands together to design a unique visual icon.

As a junior in college, I pitched this internship to the Resort's Marketing Manager and facilitated the approval through my college for credit. As an in-house Graphic Design intern I improved and honed my proficiency in design by meeting weekly, sometimes daily, deadlines to sketch, compose, and finalize engaging takeaways and flyers that informed customers throughout the resort about upcoming events. I was given the freedom to pitch catchy headlines and loved coming up with fresh ideas for events and social gatherings. The aesthetic for these assets would vary depending on the need which allowed me to grow my ability for the correct visual tone through typography and composition, whether creating a one-page ad for an elegant five-course dinner or a pop-art-inspired take-away for a weekend Pop-up BBQ.
