  Walt Disney Television

  Jul 2006 - Jan 2020

  As part of a small, in-house creative agency at Walt Disney Television, I spearheaded the creation of elevated, on-brand, real-time content based on enhanced metrics and consumer insights to grow our audience. With a solid understanding of the mobile-first approach and responsive design, I made data-driven design decisions based on who the audience is, and how they will access the content.I designed, photographed, retouched, shot, edited, animated, wrote, and published multi-platform content, driving traffic through thoughtful and interactive design across websites and social media. It led to more unique visitors on our website and app! Show less

  Branding & Visual Identity Designer

  I get to make ideas come to life as a branding designer for small businesses. We collaborate to develop their unique brand identity through logos, animations, advertisements, and aesthetically pleasing PowerPoint decks.As a wine enthusiast, it was fun to develop a creative direction, execute the visual design, and take bottle shots for Saison Winery. I also use the Wine Direct Content Management System (CMS) to update page content. Designing posters, social media graphics, t-shirts, and displays for The Bar Method have been a blast. The clean, modern brand aesthetic matches my style, and I am a client and believer in the brand.A project that touched my heart was creating PowerPoint decks for Best Friends Animal Society's TED Talks. I love animals and helping them find their forever homes. Show less
