Hi, I'm Sue Young, a detail-oriented and creative production artist with extensive experience in packaging and branding across print-based mediums, especially in federally regulated fields. I pride myself on being able to take projects from concept all the way to completion, whether I'm collaborating with a team or working independently. I adapt quickly to new environments, always aiming to bring consistency and precision to every piece of work. With over two decades of freelance design experience and roles at companies like Casper Sleep and Revolution Foods, I’ve developed a strong skill set in design production, project management, and data organization. I love creating clean, accurate designs and developing systems that make managing information and requests effortless. When not designing, I’m probably exploring new UX concepts or refining my project coordination skills.
