EXPERIENCE
Web Designer
→ Revolution 4 Ventures|2024–Present

Square Lines builds custom, web-based, full stack applications. I work directly with the principal to stand up and support online projects across public and private sectors. Clients include Kansas State University, University of Louisville, Oregon Health and Sciences University, the American Ambulance Association, and Acaville.
Graphic Designer
→ Intel Corporation|2006–2024
Intel first approached me to polish a product overview deck, which spun into doing infographics, executive presentations, marketing collateral, custom illustrations, corporate signage, website layouts, and the occasional good-natured photoshop gag. Most of my work supported the Wireless Marketing Group (across multiple rebrands), with additional spot projects for other teams as needed.
Creative/Art Director
→ Sunfare|2013–2024
Sunfare prepares and delivers fresh-made, personalized meals for people who want to eat healthy. Most recently I led brand continuity across design, communications, and database marketing—and worked with leadership and an offshore team to modernize and scale their proprietary business management platform.
Design Lead
→ IGNW|2016–2020
IGNW exploded into the automation and digital transformation space and brought me on to provide ongoing graphics support across teams. My work spanned brand development, web design, sales decks, marketing collateral, and original iconography.
Director of Communications
→ Sunfare|2002–2012
A writing- and ideation-intensive position focused on defining and extending Sunfare's brand voice and mission. I authored comprehensive internal documentation, generated all marketing and client communications, and managed external partners—including advertising and PR agencies—to build and execute promotional campaigns and materials.
Graphic Designer
→ Storms Consulting|2009–2011

VOLUNTEER
Graphic Designer
→ Portland Public Schools / Rieke Elementary|2018–2020
My PTA days… fun times and good memories. As the media arm of our small-but-mighty group, I headed promotional materials, school flyers and posters, merch design, website management, and the artwork and theming for the (sadly doomed by Covid) 2020 school auction.
Graphic Designer, Copywriter
→ Generous Hearts Foundation|2018–2020
The Generous Hearts Foundation was a fundraising and resourcing non-profit with a mission to combat homelessness in downtown Los Angeles. I worked with the founder to develop a brand identity package, generate informational collateral, and build out their website.
