Someone told me to make this part short, sweet, and to the point…

…what does that mean?

I am a Senior Graphic Designer with “16” years of design experience (if you consider the whole time I have been using Adobe as “experience”). To break it down, that is: 6 years of professional experience (2 in branding, 4 in commercial real estate), 4 years of design school (undergrad), and 6 years before that knowing I wanted to be a Graphic Designer “when I grow up”. My mom is a creative and sparked this love, while my middle school art teacher saw my potential and helped me pursue these skills, ultimately leading to the career of my dreams. I should find Mr. Brook and thank him, because it worked out pretty well.

I was born in the Northern Territory of Australia, and spent most of my developmental years growing up in the United Kingdom. While this is a great conversation starter, and always my answer to “share a fun fact about yourself”…these experiences shaped who I am as a person, today.

Amongst the many other things that I am, I’m very proud to say I am a Graphic Designer. A mentor once told me that when you truly love what you do, it will never feel like “work”. I bragged about those “16 years” of experience earlier, but I haven’t worked a day in my life.

Thank you for visiting!

RESUME

  • As a Senior Graphic Designer at JLL Capital Markets, I create compelling visual solutions for the institutional sale of commercial assets, working with brokers, analysts, and marketing managers to produce high-quality and visually engaging deliverables for clients. Alongside my role, I lead the National platform for Capital Markets Designers to network, learn from, and share resources with each other across the Americas. I also serve as the Marketing Co-Lead for JLL’s Americas Women’s Business Network. Both are opportunities that allow me to not only develop my leadership skills and progress in my growing career, but to serve my community and aid the professional development of my peers.

    I have a passion for branding and layout design; skills I honed during my previous experience as a Designer at Monigle, a leading brand agency. I also have a strong interest in current affairs and social issues, which I expressed through my work for The Rocky Mountain Collegian, the student newspaper of Colorado State University, where I graduated with Honors with a BFA in Graphic Design in May 2021.

    My core competencies lie in the Adobe Creative Suite, layout and publication design, infographics and data visualization, typography, and brand development and activation. I am always eager to learn new tools and techniques, and to collaborate with other creative professionals. My goal is to use my design skills to communicate effectively, inspire action, and create positive impact.
