As a corporate training consultant and go-to in-house graphic designer, I excel in facilitating conversations with both internal and external clients to translate problems into visual solutions. As an experienced project manager, I live the iterative process of a project, from conceptualization to implementation on a daily basis. Working for and alongside clients provides me with invaluable business experience that couples well with my creative nature.

I thrive under the pressure of creating unique designs within a set of strict branding requirements. I have worked with multiple clients and for each I have been challenged to adapt to their specific brand. I have successfully created sub-brands for programs underneath those given specifications to appeal to certain groups of personnel and events. Within small teams, I have successfully developed a year-long training program, multiple week-long training programs, and a two-week engineering management seminar. For each of these programs, I was responsible for creating a strategic brand to be infused in the core learning competencies, presentation decks, event design, program-specific web pages and various printed materials.
