I started off as a Graphic Designer at Greenopolis, working on a variety of projects. My skills were tested through many areas like print, web, animation, video and user interface.I then moved up to the position of Content Manager, taking on some different responsibilities. As my design needs were passed on to my fellow employee, I worked on building up.

I am the Content Manager for Greenopolis, scheduling and posting content and videos on Greenopolis.com daily. I manage and communicate with our bloggers, to make sure they keep the content fresh and in our companies focus. I work with bringing on new partners, and creating a place for their information to live on the site. I've been writing several.

I designed for print and web, along with managing other designers and projects. Ordering materials through third party sources was frequent, and my knowledge of the industry improved through experience. Printing was done in house for small projects, with small and large format laser and ink jet printers. Craft was a must, in that there was lots of hands on.

HOK Architectural Firm

As a Graphic Design intern at HOK, I worked on evacuation maps, golf course signs, and maps for a college town campus. I was also involved in documentation for clients and reading blue prints. This helped me manage my time well, while building my design skills for environmental graphics.
