STARTING IN 2014…
I became a graphic designer for an Arizona based small business named Sportex Safety that focuses on a wide range of products including the manufacturing on Safety Vests, apparel decoration, large and small format printing, and Safety Recognition. Originally, I was a Web Department Designer, focusing on proofing and production art for eStore orders. Over time, I moved into larger scale proofing for corporate clients and picking up design work for our printed marketing materials for our Safety Recognition Program. Around mid-2015 I had become one of the lead artists for print, web, and began a focus on project streamlining and workflow.
Between 2018 and 2019, I was given the position of Print Production Manager and moved into a Senior Artist role with a primary focus on art and production for all of our printed materials. By 2022-2023, I became the Lead Designer as we started to move away from printed catalogs and focus more on online offerings. Currently, I head nearly every campaign or catalog project that comes our way, and support the Art and Web Departments through templating, design oversight and organization, and workflow process planning.
