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.
