Summary
My work experience since college graduation in Dec. 2001 has been in the
design/marketing field in both web and print. My passion is building
brands in marketing campaigns via all media including e-mail, web and
print.
I have extensive experience managing marketing materials all through the
design process, from beginning to end, with proven ability to manage
multiple projects and deliverables.
In my last position, I was the Senior Graphic Designer for Universal Safety
Response, the leader in perimeter security protection. Each day brought a
new and exciting challenge in this fast paced environment. My duties
included internal and external marketing materials including design and
implementation in both print and web. This includes tradeshow banners and
signs, flyers, catalogs, business cards, truck wraps, data sheets,
presentations, newsletters, product photo books/flyers, website, forms, and
video loops. I also oversaw two other designers that each handled web and
print and make sure we are met our goals as a department.
My ultimate goal is to be a marketing manager because of my joy to teach
and help teammates. I have considered going back to school to get a
masters degree in order to become a teacher.
Currently, I'm working as a freelance designer doing all things design in
both web and print. I've really enjoyed working from home, and I hope much
continued success.
Specialties
I specialize in creating affordable and attractive custom graphic design,
custom web design, marketing materials and branding solutions for your and
your business. If you need a creative, hard-working, skilled and down-to-
earth designer, then give me a chance. I love what I do, and I hope it
shows in my work. I work with all media, including print, web and
interactive. I've built solid relationships with key vendors, so I can not
only provide great design, but at a good price too.
