I have been a graphic designer at a national hotel brand for nearly 8 years. I began fresh out of college and eventually worked by way up to leading the small team. Along with my team, I was able to launch a refresh of the brand’s image, introducing a new set of brand colors and a new typeset. While developing the brand’s graphic visuals remained in the forefront, I also lead and maintained the photography and video development for the brand during my time as Director of Graphic Design.
After my time working with the hotel brand, I began my own small business, crafting and creating coloring pages for people to enjoy. I also started part-time work with the local county museum, helping run the gift shop, social media, advertising, and other various projects.
