617MediaGroup

I manage the development of print, digital, and web collateral for a variety of projects, events, and campaigns. My role involves meeting tight deadlines, ensuring that deliverables align with our agency’s best practices, our clients’ branding, and the provided brief’s objectives and expectations. I am responsible for organizing my own priority list, keeping up to date with new technology, and occasionally overseeing the work of other designers.

I developed my management skills by recruiting and supervising the work of new designers. I also delegated client requests and executed design work to provide consistent, high-quality deliverables aligned with client needs and the agency’s design ideals.

As a graphic designer, I took on project management responsibilities, guiding the direction of design collateral using my knowledge of Adobe programs and WordPress to produce print materials and multi-page websites based on the briefs provided by the client services team.

As a design intern, I worked on various tasks set by my creative director, from creating social media graphics to supporting web design and development projects. I gained hands-on experience with industry-standard tools and workflows, learning to turn creative ideas into compelling visuals while collaborating with the client service team to meet client expectations.

Freelance Design

I occasionally accept small-scale branding and design projects, where I am responsible for developing tailored visuals, branding suites, and websites. I handle every aspect of the process, including consultation and concept development, creating timelines, setting clear delivery expectations, and providing experienced guidance on design theory and best practices to ensure a smooth, successful creative experience.   

Elite Embroidery

For my college internship, I worked at Elite Embroidery, providing website development, promotional advertisements, and rebranding for the screen printing shop formerly in Weymouth, MA. Along with the contracted rebranding, I helped complete custom designs for clients and assisted in various backroom printing tasks.
