As a graphic designer and creative producer with over 25 years of experience, I conceptualize and produce work that demonstrates brand through visual storytelling. Through my experience in higher education, I have designed and directed the creative expression of institutional brands in recruitment campaigns, fundraising initiatives, capital planning and improvement projects, and more. I am passionate about collaboration, design thinking, and the Oxford comma. I use design as a way to communicate ideas and inspire action. With expert skills in InDesign and other Adobe Creative Suite applications, I produce print and digital marketing and communication materials and other deliverables for industries such as higher education, healthcare, finance, technology, educational publishing, nonprofit organizations, and children’s literature. I am skilled in design execution, creative strategy, art direction for video and photography, integrated marketing, and project management. I am an expert user of Macs; Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop; Microsoft Office including PowerPoint; Google Docs; and project management tools like Asana. I am proficient in proofreading and copy-editing. ––– Recent Experience Independent Graphic Designer and Creative Producer | Number 13 Design | Sept. 2022—Present Senior Director of Band and Creative | University of Hartford | Feb. 2016–Sept. 2022 Director of Creative Services | Westfield State University | Aug. 2014–Feb. 2016…As a graphic designer and creative producer with over 25 years of experience, I conceptualize and produce work that demonstrates brand through visual storytelling.
