Dorie Herman

FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER + ART DIRECTOR

Norwalk, CT, USA
I am a Senior Designer and Art Director in the New York City area. Winner of the 2013 $10,000 Education Relief Award from AWNY (Advertising Women of New York, now She Runs It). In my time outside of design work, I'm also a social media influencer - building up an audience of 200k+ on Instagram and Facebook for my dog family, The Kardoggians. I am looking for design and social media project opportunities.

Here's the quick and dirty on me:
- Parsons-trained graphic designer with a flair for print & digital.
- Information design, cards, logos, business cards, moving notices, & whatever else you might dream up…
- Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop), Powerpoint, Keynote, MailChimp, Shopify and general computer geekery.

Specialties: marketing, print design, logo design, presentations, event materials, collateral, publication design, publication marketing, creative ideation, remaining calm under pressure, service with a smile.
