GiftCards.com (acquired by Blackhawk Networks in 2016) hired me as Senior Graphic Designer on the strength of my print and web design experience. I worked closely with project managers and the technology team to develop mock-ups for online shopping and redemption process flows, supplied UI and UX assistance, designed marketing websites and landing pages, and developed and scheduled consumer emails with the marketing software program Listrak. I collaborated with the Social Media Manager and Content Manager to create Facebook templates and graphics, greeting cards, downloadable printables, illustrations, and infographics. I also worked directly with the CMO and Creative Director to create and maintain the company's branding style guide. I was fortunate to flex my creative muscle on a variety of projects. From designing electronic billboard ads and trade show display panels to developing creative advertising materials for both print and the web, I highly enjoyed my time at GiftCards.com.

I was initially hired as a Junior Graphic Designer, which then matured into a senior-level position within the Creative Services department. As my job responsibilities increased, I worked on, managed, and oversaw multiple client projects. I worked with numerous network clients to design and develop their branding, marketing websites, email and banner campaign creatives, and print collateral including business cards and mailers. I also designed, developed, and integrated white label affiliate interfaces with the DirectTrack Affiliate Tracking Program. When I wasn't working on client projects, I developed internal creative materials for Digital River, Inc. (formerly Direct Response Technologies, Inc.) including business cards, one-sheets, trade show panels, magazine ads. I also designed, developed, and updated the company's marketing websites.
