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.

My Place Convention 2019
I was heavily involved in the design aspects of the 2019 My Place Convention. I oversaw a team who created all graphic elements related to the convention. I was also in charge of photography and videography during the convention. In the end I also put together and edited the recap video shown here.
My Place Hotels Franchising Video
This is a video shown to prospective franchisees. It showcases the quickness of a build, the interiors of the buildings, the options of facades, spread across the country, and testimonials from other franchisees.
From the Heart and Heartland
This video was shown at a state tourism convention for South Dakota. To showcases the passion people of the Midwest have for hospitality and the personality of the company.
