When I am not designing, I am eating, cooking, doodling, and hanging out with my cats. I used to hang out with other people but now I just look at Maine Coons on Instagram and eat cheese on the couch.
NEW! Supervisor of Graphics
Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium
Description coming as soon!
Lead Graphics Designer
Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium
As the Lead Designer on the Graphics team, my responsibilities span from designing environmental graphics for new or existing exhibits to relationship building with third-party partners for print and installation. I love to develop pieces that engage and educate the public about animals and their care. One of the best parts of the position is creating designs that inspire people to learn about animals and their habitats. I love working for an organization that is making change happen.
Other aspects of my day to day include maintaining print and digital graphics on grounds to ensure every visit is just as amazing as the first. Nothing is too small! Nurturing my team’s talent while working to grow their knowledge and skills is a huge part of my daily responsibilities, and I love doing it. By managing timelines and facilitating relationships with other departments, I have been able to see projects from start to finish.
Lead Graphic Designer
Election Systems & Software
In this role, I translated brand requirements into thoughtful designs that pushed the company forward. By taking direction and input from key stakeholders to create innovative design solutions, we were a design leader in the industry. One of the main challenges for the election industry is creating materials that are modern and easy to understand while providing a plethora of information about a serious and complex topic.
I worked closely with cross-functional teams and product experts to create content that was captivating, informative, and attractive (which is one of the key goals for a designer). I brought visual creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation to campaigns and projects from the planning meetings to the finished product.
Freelance Graphic Designer
My bread and butter is partnering with people who have an impact in their communities and create spaces for education and creativity. Some of my favorite projects include Ahma Surf in Sierra Leone, Step Up Omaha and Council Bluffs, and Urban League of Omaha. Whether I am simply designing a logo or creating conference materials, every project is meaningful.
