I am a multidisciplinary designer, developer, and illustrator with over 24 years of experience who has been using creative applications daily since the mid-1990s. I have designed and developed email marketing, digital ad campaigns, print marketing, packaging, and websites for many different businesses and brands.
Experience
Health-Scripts, Chief Creative Officer
Sep 2022 – Present · Cary, NC
I create an assortment of digital and printed marketing materials for health care provider engagements including branded MailChimp emails, landing pages, and printed collateral. I am also developing a new website and streamlining UX processes for event onboarding and sign-up.
Kane Realty Corporation, Creative Director
Feb 2008 – Mar 2022 · Raleigh, NC
At Kane, I built a WordPress theme framework for mixed-use properties that leveraged stakeholders, allowed them to make updates, and kept communities abuzz with activity. I created brand identities and executed all digital and printed marketing materials for office, multi-family, and mixed-use properties that were sold for a combined total of over $342M. I also branded a variety of events held in Midtown Raleigh, which garnered over 3 million attendees over a 14 year period.
Credit Suisse, Graphics Operator
Jul 2007 – Feb 2008 · Morrisville, NC
While working for this investment bank, I created and edited branded IPO road show presentations as part of their Presentation Technologies group. I gained expert-level experience with Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel in my tenure with Credit Suisse that I use on a daily basis.
Taro Pharmaceuticals, Senior Graphic Designer
Feb 2004 – Sep 2006 · Hawthorne, NY
At Taro, I led the process of creating ads, brochures, logos, displays, marketing materials, and web graphics. I worked with print vendors throughout the production process — requesting estimates and overseeing press runs for varied multimillion-dollar private label clients. I also managed the design team to ensure the quality and timely completion of all projects.
Fusion Media, Senior Graphic Designer
Apr 2002 – Feb 2004 · Somers, New York
While at Fusion Media, I created branded event and training solutions for the company’s largest client, the Pepsi Bottling Group. Responsibilities included creating/producing marketing materials, presentations, and managing the design/production team. I attended Pepsi Bottling Group meetings, serving as part of Fusion Media’s technical support team. Achievements include designing a new identity for the Pepsi Bottling Group’s intranet and the development/implementation of font maintenance, job archival, and production solutions.
Net2Phone, Graphic Designer
Sep 2000 – Aug 2001 · Newark, New Jersey
While with Net2Phone (N2P), I designed packaging, ads, brochures, displays, posters, and various marketing materials for VOIP products. At N2P, an inadequate archival process led to technical challenges. Short on server space, N2P’s Creative Department stored their archived projects on CDs. Unsatisfied with the status quo, I initiated, developed, and implemented an efficient solution for font maintenance and job archival on a departmental level. I built a database of the existing CD library and developed a universal font library. This led to quick project execution and eliminated technical issues.
CAG Design, Graphic Designer
Aug 1999 – Sep 2000 · Hackettstown, New Jersey
After attending Rutgers University, I gained valuable insight into the printing industry while developing packaging, displays, and cutting edge digital prepress solutions for varied clients in an agency atmosphere. M&M/Mars, the company’s largest client, afforded me the opportunity to develop print projects for many different packaging substrates and a wide variety of printing processes. I continue to utilize the print production experience gained during my tenure with CAG (now Brand First).
