Designer • Illustrator • Creative Advertising • Custom Art _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ | @designs__by__t Hello, I’m Tara! With many years of experience as a graphic designer and studio artist, I am adept in brand strategy, creative solutions, custom artwork, and project management. I have worked on 20+ large events as creative lead including logo and concept creation, marketing materials, stage design, artistic decor, signage, merchandise and custom apparel throughout the midwest, Mexico and Europe. While years of learning from freelance, full time and internship work, my experience has given me a very well-rounded skill set.  I am very close with my roots, and with my entire family in Iowa, a monthly trip home is not out of the ordinary. As a designer, I enjoy my time spent in the studio, out on a bike or in a pool, bartending a few nights a week at one of the oldest restaurants in Denver, and feel incredibly lucky to showcase my illustrations at a few local Denver businesses. I find my creative ways thrive in the mix of these professions and hobbies. I have the vision of an artist, the desire of an athlete, and the mentality of an entrepreneur. As a competitive cyclist and triathlete, I understand the importance of being a team player, as well as self motivation and determination for a job well done and consistently coming up with the most creative, unique work. What a better home to call my new home, Colorado — a place that has grown my passion for mountain biking, snowboarding, rekindle my love for soccer and encourage me to explore even more outdoor adventures the Wild West has to offer. Put me to work with your next design idea! PORTFOLIO: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ • INSTAGRAM: @designs__by__t
