Experience
Studio 2108
Web/Graphic Designer2021 - Present
I function as Web designer, UI/UX designer and frontend developer all in one. I have honed development skills in Wordpress, HTML and CSS and am able to take a website from ideation to launch and assist with the frontend development workload on most projects. I work in Adobe XD to create high-fidelity mockups, design assets with Illustrator and Photoshop, and work within each client’s brand guidelines. I communicate with our clients directly to establish mutual clarity about their goals and my creative solutions. I work with my teammates, utilizing each other’s strengths. I manage my time effectively, and successfully handle urgent requests while staying on track with long-term project deadlines. I design for usability and accessibility, using W3C guidelines.
Freelance Designer
Graphic Designer & 3D Artist2020-2021
I utilized my versatile design skillset to work on a wide variety of projects. I used my 3D modeling and animation skills in Blender to create graphics for AAA ads. I designed table tents, posters, and a catering menu for Farotto’s, a local St. Louis restaurant, adhering to their brand guidelines and aesthetics. I designed theater posters and programs for Providence school’s annual Shakespeare production. The software I used included Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Blender and Adobe After Effects.
Thrive St. Louis
Design Intern2018
I worked on many projects that required me to design within Thrive’s brand guidelines, including a mailer for their annual fundraising dinner. For this project, I designed every part of the mailer, including the envelope, seal, card and a RSVP insert, chose paper for each, and designed the graphics and typography to correspond to the event’s theme. I used Adobe InDesign’s automation tools to add hundreds of unique recipient names and addresses to the envelopes quickly. During the print production process, I did jobs including trimming, scoring, folding, and assembling. During this position I used Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
