About Me

I’m Graphic Designer with 14 years experience in commercial printing. Areas of expertise include marketing and advertising design, branding design and expertise in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I’m passionate about using design skills to help people, so I’m currently studying Google’s UX/UI courses to further that passion through research and user-centered design.

Volunteer Project

I provide graphics for the Friendswood ISD Special Olympics Swim Team. Last year, I created a banner and a flyer for the fundraiser. I plan to continue helping them each year.

 Newsletters

Bay Area Printing produces three monthly newsletters mailed to local residents. Each month, I collaborated with a team to produce these. At peak, I managed an average of 150 ads per month. These newsletters are the property of Bay Area Printing and can be viewed here.

My responsibility includes:

  • Communicating with clients to create new ad or update an existing one
  • Keep my team updated on current status of each ad
  • Use effective time-management skills to obtain all ad approvals by the deadline
  • Flow the ads into each newsletter
  • Build the covers and upload the web-ready files to the company website

Workflow Improvement

I created a digital database, using Microsoft Excel, for all newsletter clients that was shared with the team improving time-management, communication and team productivity by 20%.

Print Projects

Various print projects that I created utilizing Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. The files were built to be press-ready, with proper PMS colors (when needed), .125″ bleeds for trimming, ensuring any columns for score/folds were sized appropriately and adhering to all branding guidelines.
