10+ years experience in digital and graphic design and animation.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to draw, play games and dig in the mud. Yep, you’ve guessed it, that little girl was me. As a grown-up, I’ve enjoyed over ten years of designing compelling graphics, creating profitable animations and developing innovative concepts using a variety of styles and techniques that make clients happy.
Most recently, my work as a digital designer and animator has given me experience with various brands and clients. I created new landing pages, email designs and social media pieces for JoAnn Fabrics using HTML and Photoshop. For Darice, I design children's craft products, develop style guides and create character illustrations. For Wyse Advertising and Flourish Agency, I have been designing and animating Flash banner ads, multi-media ads and print designs following brand guidelines under tight deadlines.
As an animator for ten years at American Greetings Interactive I managed high revenue projects and animated top selling online cards. I presented my concepts and discussed strategies with my team while managing and producing multiple projects. As a leader of a team I collaborated with UX, developers, illustrators and animators from the UK and various US locations. Part of my role as animator was to stay current with trends in illustration, design and technology.
Prior to my experience at American Greetings, I designed for a variety of print projects including invitations, children’s books, annual reports and advertisements and also worked in the paper card division of American Greetings as a print designer. During that time I focused on design, typography, illustration and photo manipulation for print.
