Experience

I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from Indiana University - Bloomington in 2014. At IU, I grew as a designer through the Graphic Design Club, participating in work-study at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, working as a Summer Design Intern at the WonderLab Science Museum, and working 3 years as a Creative Advertising Designer for the Indiana Daily Student Newspaper.

I spent the past 8 years in-house managing retail product development projects from concept to market release. I supported the brand messaging of multiple brands simultaneously across multiple touchpoints & platforms, including packaging, retail product, and digital marketplace assets. I established brand standards, internal asset organization, and provided art direction to ensure all projects adhered to brand guidelines. I regularly collaborated with internal partners, including Product Development and Sales teams to ensure the success of design deliverables.

I have an expert-level attention to detail and am adept at managing complex projects. I am really in my element when creating deliverables that align with the brand strategies to enhance the customer experience and drive business growth. I consider myself a tinkerer and arranger. I love to refine the inner workings of a design system to ensure it runs smoothly from concept to the finished product. I am thorough, reliable, responsible, organized, and will carry a project to the finish line with dedication. I bring a wealth of expertise to each project I touch and am committed to driving design projects to success.
