Trusted talent enabling your company to grow.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Communication Design with a minor in marketing from the University of North Texas. I graduated in 1999 and over the last 20 years, I have gained experience doing creative work for several large companies. I gained a wealth of knowledge in print production and branding while working at the Fossil National Headquarters in Dallas. I became an expert in catalog design, art direct product photo shoots, and product packaging. This required working with brand standards and style guides across all verticals. As my career progressed, I transitioned the Dallas Morning News team where I honed my skills in advertising and newspaper printing. Deadlines were a crucial element to newspaper advertising. I created custom advertisements for local businesses which required overseeing photo shoots, and art directing layouts for local high-end restaurants, jewelry stores, and other large stores such as Neiman Marcus.
Over time, my career progressed and I embarked on an opportunity as an in-house employee and team member for Verizon. In conjunction with my team, I created the Verizon Fios TV website, used the brand style guide and standards to create icons, and web page components that could be used throughout the site. It is here that Iearned about user experience best practices. I went on to achieve user experience design certifications by the Neilson Norman Group (NNG). Using my web and UX proven skill sets, I began working at Standing Dog Interactive, a company strong in SEO and Paid Search services. I was able to familiarize myself with many of the industry SEO best practices for websites and paid search. Clients required creative ads for paid search or website updates to new mobile responsive standards. As Creative Director, I was in charge of leading the design and development team in their interactive projects as well as all company wide objectives.
