I’m a people-centric problem solver
In a nutshell:
Over ten years of advertising and marketing experience, primarily in agency settings
Process-believer, that understands the importance of staying nimble through the vagueness
Organized, list-maker and efficiency-finder that establishes systems to be able to stress the details; Root-of-the-problem solver
At the intersection of creative and technical; Values parameters and clarity when applicable, while having the ability to flex a creative muscle
Holistically thinking and tireless, with tremendous stamina, determination and grit at the task(s) at hand
Advocates for the best solutions for clients/customers/end users, not necessarily the cheapest and/or quickest solutions
Communicative collaborator, who favors team environments for continued learning, but can work autonomously on tasks
Positive culture-seeker!
A little more depth:
At my core, I am a Production Designer, but my incessant need for a challenge keeps me thirsty for opportunities outside my wheelhouse. Video production and editing, and animation are just a few areas that I would love to eventually gain further experience in. So far, typography and layout management have been a key emphasis in my day-to-day focus, for both print and digital media. I have been aiding creative teams on client-driven deliverables by ensuring projects are standardized and consistent across the desired platform, as well as managing assets, file naming conventions, and server structures for ease of long-term access.
In my spare time, when I’m not knee-deep in some type of home improvement project, I’m out camping with my partner, Michael, and our dog, Ranger, enjoying the beauty of the PNW, or, out exploring the vast corners of the world.
Add me to your team, and you’ll be getting someone that possess these top five strengths: Achiever, Relator, Futuristic, Individualization, and Responsibility. I thrive in environments that allow me to utilize these strengths, and seek opportunities that embrace and value these qualities.
Let’s get to work!
