Work experience
AmeriLife
(Oct 2021 – Nov 2022)
DIRECTOR, CREATIVE SERVICES
I was honored to have the opportunity to serve as Director of Creative Services with AmeriLife. Starting with a small but mighty team, we quickly expanded to keep up with the demands of a company in rapid growth. Adding over 26 new affiliates and partnerships within the year, there was no shortage of hard work or creative output. Challenge accepted! I was able to oversee a full corporate rebrand, including the launch of several tech-first products and services. The team also created world-class designs for AmeriLife’s many million-dollar events, effective sales and marketing collateral, and produced engaging visuals that aided in company-wide success. I took pride in empowering my incredible team to trust their creative decisions and elevate each project through design thinking. This role was a true test of empathetic leadership, industry knowledge and problem solving. I’m very thankful for this experience, and genuinely hope to see more kindness and compassion from AmeriLife in the future.
Wiley Beyond
(Jan 2021 – July 2021)
SR. DESIGNER, ENTERPRISE MARKETING & SALES
During my time at Wiley Beyond, we hit the ground running to refresh and re-focus the companies visual identity. Unfortunately, working with different freelance designers in the past, led to a lack of consistency and clarity in the creative vision. In a matter of months, I was able to create a new brand book, audit all previous creative, design paid ads and social posts, plus execute top-level presentations and collateral for both the enterprise marketing and sales teams. I’m very proud of the quality of work produced during my contract with Wiley Beyond. I look forward to seeing this brand grow and unlock its full potential in the future.
