Freelance graphic design and photography.

Helped Marketing Director in designing and creating; websites, product labels and packaging, and branding.

My major role at the business was the pre-testing of patients before they were seen by the doctor. Which included testing vision and eye pressure. I also helped with the integration of the digital medical software that was introduced while I was there. In addition to the day to day Optometric assistant roles, I designed the logo, brochure, and business cards. As well as a few other promotional posters and postcards. I also created a website that was easy to use by other employees, as well as any additional imagery.
