    I am an experienced designer and art director who has 10+ years working as a professional designer while also running my own freelance company. About me: After graduating with a degree in fine arts with a concentration in graphic design from Colorado State University, I worked in the prepress department of a large format printer for almost 10 years learning professional print standards. Looking to go into a more creative field, I left and started running my own freelance business while also working contract positions for ad agencies and marketing departments (The Integer Group, Monigle, JD/Finish Line, Otterbox) in the Denver area. I have experience in print, web, packaging, branding, final art, illustration, etc. I am comfortable and familiar with working in the agency space. I moonlight as an improv comedian and am also a passionate indie/underground music fan. My freelance work is mainly focused on providing identity to the small businesses in that space.

    With my extensive experience and passion for design, my diverse skillset and qualifications will make me a great asset any organization. Everyday I find myself in constant awe of the power of visual design and the impact it has in the world around us. It is virtually impossible to experience a day or an environment that does not include design. Having no two works days ever the same is what makes my occupation so rewarding and exciting. To this day, it is always a thrill when you see artwork or design materials in your community you were a part of creating. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong understanding of how effective quality design is in achieving marketing objectives. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality designs that not only meet clients’ expectations but often exceeding them. In addition to my creative and energetic presence, I also offer strong client interaction and communication which ensures we are all aligned in the direction of the tasks at hand. Even after years in the industry, my desire to be a better designer, and a better person, is a never-ending journey.
