I've always been the kind of person to give 100% in everything I do. I am passionate, determined, dedicated, and a natural leader. In my almost 20 years in the creative field I've grown to appreciate tight budgets, tighter deadlines and the challenge to over come any obstacle in between.I enjoy the whole creative process: client meetings, brainstorming sessions, sketching ideas on paper, site visits, adhering to brand standards, computer generated mockups, finalizing print-ready graphic files, time management, deadlines, organization, prioritizing, budgeting, quoting, problem solving, presentations, communicating with vendors, successfully delivering on the desired design & marketing goals, and drinking an exorbitant amount of coffee to fuel my creative drive.I live in the details: white space, typography, tracking & kerning, creative photography, illustration, color theory, drop shadows, shapes, movement, writing proposals & purchase orders, printing processes, analyzing hard copy proofs, laminate textures & sheens, lighting effects, cord management, dimensions, weights, shipping, and delivery dates. I embrace technology: PC and Mac platforms; Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Vectorworks, Artlantis, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Liquid Planner, Sales Force, Exhibit Force and QuickBooks.I value social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, SnapChat, and YouTube.I get a thrill being part of a dynamic team where working together to ensure we deliver on our promises to our clients is important. As a leader, it is my goal to encourage, nurture, praise and offer my team learning opportunities to improve their skill sets to effectively get the job done - all while having fun doing so! A positive, quirky, thrill-seeking attitude has brought me this far and will continue to carry me into the future.Be creative. Be happy!
