Based in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve been working remotely since 2015, and I am a seasoned virtual collaborator. Much of my career has been as an in-house designer, so I have strong skills around brand and visual identity, work process and structure. I’m a believer in my role as a brand steward, without becoming totally inflexible.

After working in a range of industries including tech, financial services, healthcare, and consulting, I’m skilled at grasping complex business concepts and translating them into visually compelling forms that are both effective and persuasive communication.

I have extensive experience with a broad range of design deliverables, including product UI mockups and lifestyle collages, website assets, widgets, HTML email images, banner ads, social media images, collateral including brochures, datasheets, white papers, case studies, charts and graphs, conference booths and events materials, and internal events.

Most recently at BlueJeans by Verizon, I was the sole in-house designer and managed intake, scheduling, project management and on-time delivery of all design department work. This involved close collaboration with a global team of product and customer marketing managers, product managers, sales team members, vendors and other internal clients and stakeholders. At times I outsourced work to agencies and supervised their creative work, accuracy of product representation, and brand compliance.

I have extensive experience designing in PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides and am an experienced visual storyteller, having collaborated on a variety of presentation decks including high-profile presentations with executives, webinars, numerous templates, and conference booth looping decks and animations. Additionally, I have done work with proposals and document templates in Microsoft Word. I enjoy creating information graphics and business concepts in charts, bringing insight and clarity to complex data or business processes.
