As an Art Director at Barnes & Noble/Paper Source, I oversee the design and production of proprietary gift products for the two companies. This includes, but is not limited to, product development, trend research, design conceptualization, vendor relations, insuring regulatory and compliance standards, and the final product's overall quality. Prior to this role I spent 5 years illustrating and creating surface patterns for Paper Source products, such as greeting cards and stationery, textiles, gift wrap, calendars, and home decor. I value attention to detail, simplicity, and functionality, and I strive to deliver high-quality work that meets the expectations and needs of my clients and customers.
