About

I have nearly a decade of professional experience as a degree-holding graphic designer, and I am well-versed in both print and front-end web design. My print work earned a 2009 American Graphic Design Award for Excellence in the category of Packaging.

I have worked for a diverse range of clientele, including retailers such as Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble, Sears, Best Buy, Overstock.com and Walmart.com as well as film and music companies such as Lions Gate, NPR, NBC Studios, Sony BMG and EMI Music Marketing. I’ve also worked for non-profits such as the MBA Oath movement at Harvard Business School and placed ad work in publications ranging from The Charlotte Observer to the New England Journal of Medicine.

While I am well-versed in a multitude of design software programs, I am highly skilled in Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and Dreamweaver as well as the MS Office suite, HTML and CSS. I am also experienced in database-driven design collateral and the management thereof. I enjoy working with multiple designers when the opportunity arises and I also possess strong written and verbal communication skills. My resume is available for download via my online portfolio, and I also maintain an active profile on LinkedIn.
