Lori Szkodzinski
Senior Graphic & Website Designer
Romeoville, IL, USAI am a highly creative and multitalented graphics professional with over 10 years experience in developing innovative designs for print, digital media, and websites. Collaborating with marketing, copywriting, and design teams to produce high-impact visuals that capture brand identity and promote client objectives is my passion. I have expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. I utilize the behavioral psychology behind UX principles to create effective design solutions that promote brand growth. My experience spans both B2B and B2C, as well as across industries including but not limited to higher education, packaging, non-profits, and marketing.
With both a creative mindset and analytical/strategic approach, I transform brand identities and take them to the next level. I employ a big picture / high level outlook to brand + marketing strategy, understanding the synchronicity and continuity between different brand components. At the same time, I possess a firm adherence and focus on detail no matter what the project - whether it concerns design, website maintenance, project management, etc. In an ever evolving creative world, I am committed to staying current with design trends and emerging technologies. I look forward to future opportunities to harness my graphic and website skillset to create strategic brand growth.
