Hi I'm Vinnie, a graphic designer with 5 years of experience in graphic design and social media work. I have a BFA from the University of Utah and have taken online courses in graphic design, marketing, and branding. Throughout my studies I was awarded numerous awards for my artwork and have been creating work ever since. I have spent over 10 years as a professional dance and choreographer and use that perspective to create moving designs that draw viewers in. I have the most experience in working with small arts organizations, schools, and artists but am happy to work with anyone looking for beautiful and engaging media. My work involves creating web content, social media posts, print materials including posters & programs, and merchandise. I have a versatile skill set and am ready to use all those tools to help my clients get their desired outcome. For 4 years I was the lead designer for em(body) dance project where I created posters, postcards, social media advertising, videos as well as logo design and brand merchandise. I am comfortable working alone or closely within a team to build a company's brand together. It is my goal to use dynamic imagery to creating captivating and professional quality design, no matter your budget. My skills include proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and other adobe products. Additionally I work with Canva, Google Drive, and web design platforms including Wix, Squarespace, & Wordpress, and music or video editing software including iMovie and Garage Band. If you're looking for ways to level up your online presence and/or printed advertising, reach out with your project and I'll make it happen!

Digital PR & Authority Link Building: Get Cited in Google and AI Search I earn my clients editorial coverage on outlets like Forbes, Healthline, CNBC, Entrepreneur, and Fortune. The kind of coverage that builds Google rankings and gets your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. Same work, two channels. I'm the founder of Reporter Outreach, a digital PR and link building agency. Since 2017, I've run 500+ campaigns and earned over 25,000 editorial placements, averaging DR 75+. I work primarily with healthcare, eCommerce, SaaS, and finance brands competing in hard, often regulated niches. What makes this different from most link building on Upwork: I don't sell guest posts or PBN links. Every placement comes from journalist-first outreach and expert positioning. Your brand gets quoted as a real source in a real article a reporter chose to write. Those are the links that hold up through algorithm updates, and because AI search engines pull from the same trusted publications, editorial coverage is now what gets brands surfaced in AI answers, not just ranked in search. Clients hire me for: 1. Editorial backlinks from genuine DR 75+ publications 2. Visibility in AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews), which increasingly cites earned media over brand-owned content 3. White-hat SEO that survives long-term, not short-term gains that turn into liabilities 4. A senior strategist who understands both SEO and how journalists actually work What I do: 1. Digital PR & journalist outreach: expert-source pitching and direct journalist relationships by beat. Quote placements and contextual brand mentions in authoritative publications. 2. Authority link building (white-hat): editorial backlinks from real media sites, competitor backlink gap analysis, anchor and link velocity strategy, and YMYL-safe approaches for sensitive niches like health and finance. 3. Full-feature media placements: dedicated, full-length brand features written and placed on top-tier publications, handled end to end. Not guest posts. Proof: 1. Healthcare (Villa Oasis): 352% organic growth on DR 80+ placements in a YMYL niche 2. SaaS (Qooper): 2,203% organic traffic growth in 6 months 3. eCommerce (BloomsyBox): 555% growth in 10 months 4. Cybersecurity (Nightfall): 287% growth across 57 placements Why clients choose me: Founder-led: your campaign isn't handed to a junior or offshored. Real publications, never PBNs or guest post farms. Strategies built to Google's quality guidelines. Transparent reporting and realistic expectations about what's achievable and when. How it works: Strategy alignment (goals, authority gaps, competitors) → publication and journalist targeting → journalist-first pitching → placements delivered with clear reporting. Best fit if you're: Competing in a difficult SEO niche, recovering from a low-quality backlink profile, a founder who wants real credibility and AI-search presence, or an agency looking for a white-label digital PR partner. Send me your website, your competitors, and your goals. I'll tell you exactly what's realistic and how I'd approach it.

Alongside technical design, I also have extensive experience in email marketing and digital campaign design. I’ve worked with platforms such as Mailchimp, Omnisend, GoHighLevel, and ConvertKit to design and set up email campaigns, marketing graphics, and automated sequences that help businesses engage their audience and improve conversions. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with startups, entrepreneurs, and businesses to support both their technical documentation and their marketing needs. My areas of expertise include technical drawings and patent illustrations, system architecture and process diagrams, infographic and visual information design, graphic design for digital and print, and email marketing design and campaign support. I focus on delivering high-quality work, clear communication, and designs that solve real problems, whether that means explaining a complex system visually or helping a brand communicate more effectively through email marketing.
