Experience /
Christie’s International Real Estate | Current
Senior Designer
Upon joining Christie’s, I am bringing a new perspective to the way we visually represent this iconic and historic brand. My work must elevate and modernize the identity while not losing the connection to Christie’s 250+ year history and beloved auction house. Alongside a team of designers and marketing experts, I am reinventing email communications, event collateral, packaging, swag, and print collateral to better reflect the evolution Christie’s has gone through to become who they are today.
Kin & Carta | 2020-June 2022
Senior Designer
With K+C, I worked exclusively in the digital space creating websites, digital products and web applications for our clients. I consulted with a large variety of clients including Trimble, PepsiCo, Lippert, and Land O’Lakes. In this role, I was responsible for creating design systems for existing brands and apply them to new products. I work closely with a team of UX designers and developers to complete deliverables that meet business goals, are accessible to all, and utilize the latest technologies.
UpShift Creative | 2019-2020
Senior Designer
While at UpShift, I designed brand identities for clients in the real estate industry. I created conceptually driven brands and applied the new brand to a variety of materials including responsive websites, emails, stationery, brochures, signage and swag. I lead a team of junior designers to make sure everything was consistent across materials while also guiding them through their own design concepts. I was also immersed in the process of developing deliverables through working with print vendors to choose papers, inks, signage materials, and swag items. This allowed me to uphold the integrity of the design across all materials.
The Creative Group | 2018-2019
Creative Design Consultant
As a Creative Consultant, I assist a variety of clients with design needs ranging from print, brand identities, digital, UX/UI, trade show, or presentation designs. I work with in-house marketing teams and creative agencies large and small. I was able to develop relationships with my clients so that I became their “go-to” designer to fill when needed. This position taught me to be highly adaptive as I had to jump from one client to another, not always knowing what to expect upon arrival. Clients include Wilson Sporting Goods, BlueChip Marketing, JLL Chicago and The Food Group.
