Since I was a kid, design has been my greatest passion and motivation, not just on paper and screen but in life. Every morning I wake up, I design my overall appearance considering how I want to present the best version of myself into the world then I do it. As happy as I was as a designer, I graduated past the worker bee role (only doing the projects assigned to me, then going home) and onto strategizing new video and website marketing techniques, and leading teams of people, while still designing and creating innovative content. I piloted strategies leveraging KPIs to determine campaign efficiency and adjusting to obtain results.
Through the course of over 15 years in my career I’ve designed, developed, and coded top-notch marketing and instructional materials for a variety of companies ranging from large corporate B2Bs and B2Cs to local mom and pops and most recently, Gonzaga University, a prestigious Private University. Digital projects I worked on range from Full-Stack websites, email campaigns, ad banners, pay per click marketing to videos, and holograms. With printed materials, I’ve created everything from illustrations, logos, business cards, brochures, branding/ad campaigns, direct mailing pieces to large format posters, banners, and tradeshow graphics. I have a huge sense of humor, with a love for puns, and try to find ways to incorporate them into the messaging. I have a solid understanding of what goes into the print process after working in a print shop for about a year and I understand programming languages and terminology used in the tech field from working as a front-end web developer alongside engineers. With the knowledge and experience, I acquired, I have successfully trained and mentored colleagues, and student workers, developing them to become company assets.
As a designer, I would compare my work to a good IPA, compelling, crisp, clean, and refreshing with a distinctive touch. As a coworker/employee, I am committed to doing what it takes to make a project achieve excellence, sell products, services, and ideas which requires using excellent communication skills and intuition, asking the right questions, and listening effectively. I lead by example, remaining open, and patient. I genuinely care about the success of my peers, and subordinates, by taking the time to explain and review steps, processes, and contexts of projects in ways that resonate with them.
