Work Experience

Cummings Properties, LLC

Environmental Graphic Designer

Working for Cummings Properties, a company who takes pride in its in-house capabilities, has enabled me to take a project from concept to creation. Having done so, I have grown knowledgable in many other related areas along the way.

As the only Environmental Graphic Designer at Cummings Properties, I am responsible for maintaining the signage standards for 85+ buildings and over 10 million square feet of space. This involves designing for a wide range of materials across various platforms, including but not limited to interior client suite signage, directionals, garage signage, directory signage, building banners and client illuminated cluster signs. My responsibilities also include signage inventory maintenance and, recently, project management of the graphics department.

I am also responsible for working closely with our not-for-profit organization, Cummings Foundation. This involves photographing events as well as creating and executing their “Cummings Buildings Powers Charities” marketing campaign, which consists of flyers, newspaper ads, posters, banners, vehicle wraps, vinyl decals and banner splashes on websites.

In 2013, I received the Cummings Properties Managament Award. This award acknowledges my ability to utilitize the various resources within Cummings Properties, display creativity and advance projects from sketch through completion.
