Karen Teichgraeber Email & Phone Number

Being versatile in today’s industry has provided me with a variety of experiences and careers, ranging from sales to design. This unique background includes freelance graphic design, insurance sales, designing for the architectural and building industry, owning my own businesses, and working for a graphics company. With exceptional organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and a focus on customer service, I have a record of success in every industry I’ve worked in. As a Licensed Worksite Benefits Division Agent at Globe Life Liberty National Division, I provide policies to fit individual client needs with an emphasis on long-term relationship building as well as excellent customer service.As a graphic designer and production designer for Medialab Ventures, I translated the architect’s concepts in CAD and pdf into photo-realistic 2D and 3D models using Photoshop. I created seamless patterns, textures, and finishes including masonry, roofing, paint, landscaping, and interior/exterior accents, and applied them to 2D and 3D imagery. As the owner of K&L Finishing Touches and Kre8ive Dezigns, I provided graphic design services for more than 50 clients. My focus was to develop a visual look and feel for the company, which I then carried out in signage, corporate identity, sales collateral, tradeshow displays, apparel, marketing materials, promotional products, custom gifts, and images. Early in my career as a graphic designer for Corwin Design and Graphics, I produced newsletters, stationary packages, catalogs, brochures, sell sheets, and graphics in collaboration with sales and marketing teams.With about 25 years of soccer playing experience competing against tough candidates including Mia Hamm, I’m driven to constantly improve myself. This tenacity is a key player in my design process and client satisfaction. I’ll continue to embrace the career paths I’ve established and look forward to seeing how they’ll evolve in the future.Skills: EPIC | Salesgenie | Agency Management Software | Insurance Quoting Software | Adobe Photoshop Image Manipulation and Compositing | Seamless Texture Creation | Marketing Collateral | Adobe Illustrator | InDesign | Microsoft Office | 3D Studio MAX | Reading AudoCad Renderings | Presentation Art Direction Process | Sales & Marketing Collaboration | Design Composition | Project Management
