With over 13 years of work experience, I design compelling work for print design and digital media. I have experience with advertising, marketing, corporate identity, brand management, and new media communication in my current role. In addition, I am proficient in design software used in the design process, including Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. As a result, I can integrate my versatile design skills, including layout, editorial design, typography, design patterns, and photo retouching, into various marketing materials. My experience with designing digital content for social media also allows me to synthesize information quickly. In 2013, I received an MFA in Graphic Design from the University of Memphis. I developed the ability to craft a story through design, determine solutions and alternatives when necessary, and articulate my decisions clearly from my graduate studies. Furthermore, I have managed classrooms online and in person. I have also learned how to guide and evaluate students while teaching undergraduate courses. This process has carried over into my professional life when working alongside my colleagues. During my spare time, I manage Ladies Who Design. This digital studio offers resources and a supportive platform for female creatives.
