Graphic Designer

With a major in Design and a minor in Industrial Design, I am passionate

about solving problems by creating beautiful and functional design, while implementing solutions to a more sustainable, healthy future. EXPERIENCE

I currently design solar panel and Powerwall systems for Tesla’s residential clients throughout the United States. Using Tesla proprietary software, a version of CAD, I develop a custom system layout from photos and survey information, determine the electrical tie-in, generate the blueprints for the installation crew, and send off the solar layout for the customers approval.

This ongoing side gig has developed into experience in mostly brand strategy. I have helped numerous startups obtain a brand identity and to use that identity throughout their marketing and online presence. Industries include fitness, email marketing, restaurant, book publishing, and apparel companies. December 2018 - Current

This is a fine dining restaurant focused on personalizing the customers experience. Hired primarily as a waitress, I also redesigned their 2020 restaurant & bar menus for Max Dales and their sister restaurant, Stanwood Grill. I also created a food & cocktail photo shoot used to create weekly social media content to digitally promote specials and events. While keeping busy as a waitress, I also improved my technical skills while helping them with marketing material.

September 2019 - March 2020

Here I was responsible for the cover and layout of this 200-page annual book containing fiction, non-fiction, short stories, and poetry. All design work was done within one month using Adobe InDesign.
