I design consumer packaged goods, packaging, and brand identities from concept through production.

I've grown from Designer to Senior Designer at 80 Acres Farms, creating consumer-facing design work through creative collaboration, branding, user interface design, product sampling, and presentations.

Before 80 Acres Farms, I designed seasonal candy, toy products, and packaging at Galerie Candy and Gifts for private-label and licensed accounts including My Little Pony, Dylan's Candy Bar, and FAO Schwarz. My work included prototypes, conceptual design, trade-show exhibitions, sales presentations, brand development, final graphics, pre-production setup, trend shopping, and market research.

I've also delivered freelance graphic and web design solutions aligned to client objectives, and laid out and developed web pages for the University of Cincinnati CEEMS MSP Grant.

My background includes exhibition graphics for Cincinnati Art Museum, visual design, photography, marketing materials, websites, logos, advertisements, packaging guidelines, and prepress-to-postproduction work.
