Dustin Jensen: Adjunct Instructor in Omaha, NE

I teach college students of all skill levels vector design basics using Adobe Illustrator. Responsibilities include developing curriculums and projects aimed at helping students learn what it means to be a digital artist and preparing them for real-world experiences. Discussions include composition, color theory, typography, RGB vs. CMYK, understanding the print process, and how to work with clients. My role during their work time is to help them think critically and problem-solve more efficiently.

Weekly duties included the design of all print material such as cards, brochures, posters, banners, and shirts, along with all graphics for web, app, and video content. Met with all department heads on a quarterly-basis to discuss their design needs and budgets for upcoming events, along with deadlines for when materials needed to be completed and delivered. Developed a team of volunteers to operate camera and lighting equipment during services and events. With the help of FaithNetwork, I finished the process of building a new website. By the time I left, I had recorded, edited, and uploaded over 150 videos to Vimeo, YouTube, and their website. Successfully rebranded the church with a new visual identity, color scheme, and promotional materials. Helped manage a six-month building project where I oversaw all interior designers, painters, sign fabricators, and the technology/lighting installation crew.

Taught students of various skill levels Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro. Projects included brand identity, logo, letterhead, cards, shirts, and final video presentation of all completed work.

Successfully trained multiple clients to reach their fitness goals and live a healthier lifestyle. Along the way, I learned to become a better listener, communicator, and motivator.

Designed logos, newsletters, cards, and shirts for a variety of ministries and groups. Department meetings included brainstorming ideas for artwork, videos, stage design, and lighting for upcoming concerts, events, and weekly services.
