Accomplisments

  • Brand Consistency Implementation: Specifically speaking, Dance Vision, USDC and Emerald Ball previously lacked cohesive brand guidelines; I took the initiative to develop and standardize a comprehensive branding framework for each individual company, ensuring consistency across all materials for all businesses.

  • Event Technical Director & Graphics: Assist organizers of multiple competitions managing some and/or all visual elements for live events, including promotional materials, event signage, architectural planning, and on-site graphics for venues and hotels to ensure cohesive branding across print and digital platforms, helping to enhance the event experience up to months in advance. This includes but is not limited to: Live video visuals and switching, print media (ads, programs, event graphics, etc.) and digital media for email and 
    social marketing.

  • File System Improvement:  Company storage was messy and previously located on an unsecure local server within the office; Helped to clean storage and implement all files within the cloud that may be accessed anywhere with internet connection, with a standardized naming structure for all files. Because of this, we now have hybrid/remote employees across the world that may work anywhere at their convenience. 

  • Proficient in Color Theory & Typography: It’s important for me to stay up to date with the latest design trends and best practices for a business—including choosing and combining typefaces and colors that complement the brand’s voice and message.
