Standard facts first: I have a BA in Journalism from UW Oshkosh and an AA in Graphic Design and Illustration from Madison College. Following my time at UWO, I worked as a Legislative/Research Assistant in the State Assembly for 6 years before pivoting to using the other side of my brain, earning my design degree in 2017. I hustled with short-term and part time gigs while waiting tables and bartending before landing at image.works for 6 years - where should I spend my next 6?
As you can see, I love designing with bold colors and fun type, but I understand that all clients are different and have plenty of experience whipping up more minimalist content as well. I can create motion graphics for social media, explainer videos on how to set up online banking - I've even won an award for a TV ad. Conversely, I can set up a file for print production in my sleep and have become a pro at troubleshooting low-res graphics and logos. Who among us hasn't searched a client's website for a pdf that has a vector logo embedded in it?
Finally, as you learned on the homepage in very large copy, I live in Milwaukee with my dog Ann, who loves napping on her own couch and having her own Great Lake to swim in. I've been a sporty spice since a young age and am a Bucks season ticket holder while also crossing all my fingers and toes for a Brewers World Series this season. I also am an obsessive audiobook listener and reader, love an arts and crafts night with friends, and volunteer with the fantastic Milwaukee Diaper Mission and run an annual fundraiser for Bucks fans online. I contain multitudes, really.
