PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
A skilled graphic designer with a background in graphic design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. At 360 Branding and Communications, gained experience in small design edits, stock images, inventory, and creating digital ads. Joined EH Media as a Junior Production Artist, assisting two lead designers on seven different magazines, taking on challenging features and completing the rest of the magazine. Joined Curriculum Associates LLC as a contractor and eventually hired full-time. Initially supported the design team on smaller projects while learning how to preflight files for web and print. Took on more significant projects as skills grew, including full campaigns with multiple brochures, flyers, and other collateral. Led the design, preflight, and handeling of purchase orders for the South Carolina i-Ready Classroom Mathematics campaign, collaborating with two other designers to successfully complete the majority of the design work.
