Winter Park, FL – Dallas, TX
September 2014 - Present
As a Web and Graphic Designer, I successfully managed & designed all the creative department’s materials including proposal development, marketing initiatives, email / social media campaigns, and worked collaboratively with the marketing team.
I also mentored junior staff on color correction, software solutions, best printing practices, and documentation creation.
Some of the highlights of my work, have included acting as a project manager / designer in partnership with an external developer to complete a redesign of the ADG website. With the completion of this new redesign, we saw an increase of mobile device visitors to our site. I also created a brand audit, which lead to the development of a branding and style guide - the first ever in their 30+ year history. The branding and style guide provides information and tools to enhance credibility and consistency.

I art directed print product photography and video commercial shoots. I also collaborated with resellers / dealers and Veteran’s Administration on marketing materials.
Some of the highlights of my work included acting as a lead steward in the development of a custom sales interactive tablet application. We were able to better explain how the product interacted with their current customers and increase sales to specific market segments.
