My role at Starbucks changed at various times throughout my tenure there. At first, I worked designing in-store signage layouts, created shotlists and art directed large scale product-focused photoshoots. I illustrated branding materials for Starbucks Reserve stores, and created artwork that celebrated and helped tell the story of many different small-lot coffee farms. I designed gift cards for 2 years (which was a blast!) and worked on select coffee packaging projects. I worked closely with the Starbucks Art Program on various murals, large format art pieces and silkscreened posters. I gained extensive knowledge on print, and helped push forward the most expressive parts of the Starbucks brand.

Worked alongside the Creative Director on various high level and heavy-hitting
projects. This included establishing new ways of working and strategy around
design for product collections. I worked with the Creative Director as well on
defining customer base, brand look & feel, as well as illustration and photography
guidelines. My role also consisted of art direction for new illustrations, and
project management. I worked directly with junior designers while defining
process and best practice, as well as mentoring them in their skills.

At PicMonkey, I illustrated assets for use in the online photo editing tool. Additionally, I designed greeting cards within their tool and wrote tutorial articles about how to create similarly styled pieces. I collaborated with copywriter to create the tutorial blog posts.

BA Honours Programme of Illustration; study abroad program. I got to travel Europe, study with an elite body of 35 illustrators accepted to the program, and immerse myself in UK culture.
