About

me.jpeg

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of collaborating with B2B Corporations, Advertising Agencies, and engaging in single-client creative projects, allowing me to address a diverse range of business needs. This experience has honed my ability to find innovative solutions and drive projects to successful outcomes. I take great satisfaction in problem-solving, and I believe that this not only benefits the project at hand but also provides me with a profound sense of accomplishment. As Marketing Manager and Graphic Designer for The South Bend Civic Theatre, I further refined my skills in creating compelling visuals and conceptualizing intricate designs. This position allowed me to showcase the incredible talent of their actors and the productions they brought to life every month. I have successfully crafted layouts for various printed materials, including posters, catalogs, brochures, and email campaigns. Moreover, I have managed high-profile advertisements in publications such as South Bend Living, DTSB, the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, and leading trade magazines like Modern Material Handling and DC Velocity. Managing all printed and digital materials for fourteen facilities on a national and international scale has provided me with a global perspective and the ability to tailor designs to diverse audiences. I am proficient in designing corporate emails and websites across multiple platforms, and I possess expertise in HTML5, CSS, SEO, and CMS. Additionally, I am skilled in crafting website banners, trade-show booths, intranet icons, info-graphics for magazines, logos, and animations, as well as producing and editing short videos using the Adobe suite.

Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design,
it’s decoration.
