As part of the marketing team, I work on the development of collateral marketing material/graphics, logo creation, graphic design and illustration, and designing in-room entertainment for the hospitality industry. This includes having an understanding in user interfaces and layout, combining multiple technologies for one final product, and having a solid foundation and understanding of design and traditional forms of artwork.
My work includes designing trademarked logos (some of which were present at CES 2014), new marketing material, and in-room entertainment examples/features that will be present at the HITEC Conference in the summer of 2014.
Additional projects include developing digital signage used at the Stadium Managers Association (SMA) conference, and designing a poster showcasing a new technology by Enseo for the 2013 HTNG Innovation Award, for which the company was in the running.
