I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and immediately embarked on a winding path. I worked for campus newspaper The Auburn Plainsman as an art director and advertising graphic designer while in school, and a couple of years later would go on to work with the marketing department on US Army post Fort Campbell, creating print and digital promotional materials and even spearheading the design of the department's annual giant Christmas card competition (we won!).
Afterwards, I took up a production artist position with apparel company Custom Ink at their headquarters in Fairfax, VA. I later moved cross-country and worked as a screenprinter and mentor at Custom Ink's Reno, NV location before being promoted. As a senior production artist, I was responsible for prepress file setup, content review, and proofreading. I also collaborated with the social media team in content planning meetings and assisted with designing clipart and font assets for the customer-facing asset library.
Currently I live in the beautiful Front Range of the Rockies and I'm looking for my next role. I'm interested in branding, print design, marketing, social media, and copywriting, particularly in the outdoor industry.
