With over eleven years total industry experience, I am an award-winning art director and graphic designer working in the Houston metro area. I am open to remote work options.
Specifically, I have over eight years of print publication design experience that ranges from work in regional lifestyle magazines to non-profit university magazines to major opera company programs. During that time, I created and managed everything from individual advertisements for paying clients and managing special advertising sections to successfully completing a magazine redesign recognized by various communications organizations on the local and national level.
As an art director, I have over five years of experience conceptualizing and overseeing the production of editorial and integrated campaign photo shoots for use in print, web, video and other digital media. I have three years of experience assisting with video shoots and providing creative direction and storyboard feedback on numerous campaigns. During this time, I have developed my skills as a project manager collaborating with my marketing and comms colleagues on numerous creative projects, managing workflows, and adhering to deadlines.
I have maintained various branding guidelines and initiated efforts to provide updates to those standards to follow best practices as they apply to cross functional areas.
As a graphic designer, I've worked in various industries including retail, agency/studio, publishing, education, and the arts. I have experience taking the lead on creative challenges, including wall graphic installations, integrated marketing and advertising campaigns, print and web publications, and more.
