Graphic Designer
As Graphic Designer for this credit union, I helped establish a consistent brand look and feel for all media, create a set of standards for our interior branch spaces and brand guidelines, train new members of the creative services team, and develop concepts for most campaigns. I've become an essential member of new branch projects for artwork and finding mistakes in the actual construction and interior designs.

Work with printers to ensure the magazine file is of proper print quality and in the correct format. Work with clients to design ads based on their wants, oftentimes creating ads going off of very little information.
