As a Production Artist I collaborate closely with the creative and design teams to take concepts from initial stages all the way through production. This includes editing and resizing files as needed across print and digital formats, applying personal design talents to ensure all concepts maintain their visual and messaging integrity and effectiveness, ensuring all assets adhere to client brand standards and vendor specifications, troubleshooting technical problems as they arise, working with account teams on client and new business presentations - including deck design and brochure design for pitches, working efficiently through high volumes, meeting tight deadlines, and overall upholding Allison+Partners’ core values.

Production Artist / Designer

I took KAVU's philosophy and turned it into a visual representation that not only worked to draw customers to the store front and website, but will also inspire them to embrace the "make the most of everyday" lifestyle that is KAVU. For two years I acted as the primary designer of all advertising, emails, in-store banners / signage, social media, website banners, various merchandising / marketing projects, as well as acting as a daily representation of the KAVU lifestyle.

Graphic Designer

During my time at NMU Dining I got to work with a wide range of NMU affiliates including Starbucks, the NMU Golf Course, Temaki & Tea Sushi, Melted, and The Den. My roll at each location varied from project to project, but an overview for each would be: update / manage Facebook, design promo posters / menus / brochures, with opportunity to photograph various events / menu additions.
