Created state and national award-winning illustrations for the Johnson County Community College student news publication. Worked with reporters, designers, and the Editor-in-Chief to create illustrations, icons, and images for articles, center spread designs and cover designs. 1-3 illustrations per issue. Worked within the constraint of frequent deadlines, often being called to assist with last-minute concepts.

Work with the Production Designer, with feedback from the Editor-in-Chief, to create layouts and place content. Worked with Production Designer to re-brand the paper's image, creating new grids and style guides to mold a simple, modern and elegant appearance for the paper in a news magazine style. Create infographics, in-house ads, posters and other promotional materials for the Campus Ledger and other Student News Center organizations. Complete work on a deadline to ensure timely submission of files to the printer.

My responsibilities range from working with clients to create completely new designs and identities for their businesses to preparing customer-submitted files for printing (resizing, creating bleed/crop marks, vectorizing poor-quality logos, etc). While the majority of my workload is print design for a variety of formats, I also work with our staff web developer to design for web.

Currently pursuing an associate's degree in Graphic Design.
