I started my Graphic Design career in Ames, Iowa at Iowa State University. In 2005, I received my BFA in their competitive Graphic Design program. After freelancing off and on for 10 years, I took a job at Hope Church in Dubuque, IA in 2014 where I’m currently the Director of Communications. Some of my current job duties include:

  • Print and web graphics

  • Capture, produce and edit video content

  • Manage our website and backend database

  • Signage

  • Set design, with a team

  • Brand development and guardian

  • Lead a video team of about 15 volunteers that Live Stream weekly services. I schedule and train the team as well as manage the technology and equipment

  • Capture & produce a podcast.

  • Social Media and Social Media Team management

  • An integral part of our Leadership team; high-level vision, mission, and campaign strategizing

My strongest skills are in the areas of print and web graphics as well as video producing and editing. I am passionate about strategic and creative thinking just as much as I am about designing. I’m very loyal, mission-oriented and someone that loves to be challenged. I’m always learning, looking for ways to be more efficient and pursuing excellence.
