My current and former colleagues refer to me as a jack of all trades. Through my previous employment, I have gained amazing experience in account management, customer service and prepress operations, all while continuing to add to my already extensive graphic design background, which is focused mainly in the sports and recreation industry. I have also gained substantial experience in Adobe Creative Suite and MAC-based design. My design specialties include identity design, branding, advertising/marketing campaigns, point-of-purchase signage, brochures, indoor and outdoor signage and text-based document design.
For almost five years, I had an amazing opportunity to work as a graphic designer for the nationally-recognized graphics company, Fathead. I specialized in designing indoor and outdoor graphics for their Corporate Solutions and Custom Graphics departments. I was given the opportunity to work on projects for major NCAA athletics departments, the National Football League, Quicken Loans and Nike. I also helped develop and design a Bighead product line that was used internally for the Quicken Loans Family of Companies and has since expanded externally to our B2B sales! During those five years, I was promoted to Head Designer on all Quicken Loans special projects, including their entire Family of Companies, as well as designing for the Fathead Public Relations team and helping oversee all B2B sales design efforts.
In January 2016, I took the next step in my design career and joined the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks as their Senior Graphic Designer and in August 2018, I was promoted to oversee our creative team as Design Manager. Within the marketing department, I have been working on creating the team's first full creative services team. Not only am I keeping my traditional print design skills sharp in my new position, but I am also developing new knowledge in designing for social platforms, websites, email campaigns and other digital realms.
