My name is Pat Laurel. I have been in the graphic design industry for more than 14 years. I worked at Visit Saint Paul for more than 11 years as the sole designer. Being the only graphics person has allowed me to become a well-rounded designer, wearing many hats. Instead of focusing on one aspect of the industry, I have been able to diversify my skills into web and video. Working in my position I have had the opportunity to continue to learn new techniques and continue to keep up with the current design/graphics software.In my time with Visit Saint Paul I had the opportunity to be part of the process of bringing in and hosting some large scale events to Saint Paul. Some of these events include the WCHA Final Five 2001-2012, 2011 NCAA Frozen Four and College Fan Fest, 2011 VISA Championships, 2008 US figure Skating Championships and last but certainly not least one of the 2008 Political National Conventions.Highlights of Qualifications• Adobe CS5 Design & Production Collection
