I am a highly motivated creative thinker with management experience, including over 7 years of Art and Creative Direction for one of Seattle’s top SEO start-ups. I am proficient in brand development, marketing/visual design, product design, creative trends, and user experience. Most recently, I led the brand ideation and creation of a newly funded Seattle Healthcare startup. Over the last two years, I have created an engaging brand, marketing website, all marketing collateral, and social media assets. During my time, I was awarded the 2022 MUSE Creative Award: Gold Winner- Advertising Campaign, as well as, the 2022 MarComm International Award: Gold Winner- Strategic Communications. Before that, I led the redesign of the Funko.com website from ideation, prototyping, and fully rendering design assets to launch. In addition, I also created the product design and strategy of their new mobile app. After the redesign, I was promoted to lead the overall branding efforts. Before Funko, I led a multidisciplinary creative team and drove the creative strategy of MOZ.com, the design of its products, all marketing collateral, and the overall brand development of the company and its four sub-brands. I also lead the creative strategy from ideation to completion for MOZcon, the largest SEO marketing conference for 5 consecutive years. In addition to my visual design experience, I have a strong working knowledge of UI/UX design concepts and over 15 years of experience with Adobe Creative Suite.
