Professional Experience


LAYOUT & VISUAL DESIGNER

Austin, TX
July 2021 to October 2022
I worked as a designer for a corporate marketing team. I created assets for nearly every department of the company. Some examples of work I produce:
  • external marketing collateral, social posts, sales decks, one pagers, typeset monthly newsletters, event and campus signage
  • swag/branded apparel: hats, shirts, dry fit tops, socks, and all sorts of other nicknacks
  • internal collateral: training resources, information decks, internal comms assets, internal event branding
I’ve also played a major impact on the current look and feel of Arrive branding. I’ve updated the color scheme, typography, use of imagery, and created or updated many brand related logos/graphics.
Skills/Technologies Used:
  • Adobe Photoshop: photo/image retouching and compositing, batch processing, graphic layout, broad range of types of concept mockups

  • Figma: Editing webpage designs
  • File Organization: I made a customized workflow process similar to Asana or Basecamp inside Slack, since the marketing team lacked a singular and efficient platform for workflow
