Pepper was created as an outlet for student opinions, interests and creativity at UW-Stout. As president of the organization, I was responsible for both the preparation and the leading of the meetings. As the Editor-in-Chief, it was my duty to contact the students about the upcoming Pepper Magazine issues and other organized content, writers, photoshoots, designers; all the while, keeping the magazine issues consistent. One other responsibility that I balanced along with the overall leading of the team, was managing the blog which kept all students informed of what was to come.

Designed posters, websites, flyers, bulletin boards and other promotional material for events and campaigns that took place on the UW-Stout campus. I worked on projects from multiple clients at a time with short and strict deadlines. Many projects were open for designer interpretation and design freedom which aided in the development and refinement of my personal style, while cultivating the ability of experimentation.

I was selected as part of a 6 person team that was charged with the task of creating both a new concept and designing a new line of watches for the Nu Pop Movement brand. Nu Pop was seeking a series of watches that would be the catalyst for boosting declining sales by appealing to the age demographic of 18-30 year olds. During our commision, we designed and revised multiple concepts until the client was pleased in selecting a final 5 designs.

Part of a team that delivered 5 star quality food and service. Worked my way up from waiter assistant to expo, to host and then to a full time waiter position.
