In-store signage and promotions for clients that included Home Depot & Borders Books.

Formerly named Ambrosi, currently known as Schawk Retail Marketing. I art-directed the covers for the weekly K-Mart circular advertisements. Responsibilities included pitching creative concepts that aligned with the book's business objectives, art-directing photoshoots and preparing digital files to release to production.

I design and art direct for the Consumer Packaged Goods team and lend a helping hand to others when needed. I hurdle ideas at the Social Media team. I brew for the Coffee team. Sometimes I banter for the Office team.
Developed branding support for internal agency marketing before during and after the sale of the company to Epsilon / Alliance Data.

We are the global leader in making connections between people and brands. My team in West Chicago/Dallas powers the creative for our consumer packaged goods (CPG) group, regularly contribute to new business pitches, and agency marketing initiatives. We work across all mediums without preference or prejudice, delivering creative strategy and execution via all channels that brings you closer to your customer than ever before.

A direct mail and wholesaler that designs, assembles and markets a diverse range of motivational products, many of which are Successories' own proprietary designs.
I was responsible for photo retouching, product development & design, retail signage, product packaging, custom artwork, web imaging, production work on all lithographs, and data management. I pitched my designs to review boards and committees.

I discovered graphic design after a two year pursuit of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

I’m adding a working knowledge of business principles to unlock my larger potential. Business is embracing designers at an increasing rate. 27 startups co-founded by designers have been acquired since 2010 by companies like Google, Facebook, Adobe, LinkedIn, Dropbox and Yahoo.* My multi-disciplinary approach will allow me to lead more effectively than others. My major goal is to prove through my work that design should be looked at as an investment, and not a cost.
