@kaybwills
I create high-impact print campaigns, production systems, and accessible brand layouts.
What I'm looking for
At Cosmo Prof and Sally Beauty Holdings, I designed print campaigns for Cosmo Prof US and Canada, Armstrong McCall, Sport Clips, and Regis Salons.
I created a merchandising promotional-input SOP that reduced production time by 25% while improving brand consistency across campaigns and publications. I also translated complex product information into clear, ADA-conscious layouts using visual hierarchy and typography.
Previously, I led commercial design, digital, print, mail, and large-format work at AlphaGraphics, creating collateral, copy, and marketing campaigns for clients including Texas Woman’s University and the University of North Texas. I’ve also supported fast-moving client campaigns at IMPress Graphics and produced editorial design for Lifestyles of Denton County.
I bring deep print-production experience spanning prepress, color management, bindery, client file support, and large-format output. Outside of design, I founded North Texas Corgi Connection and serve as a vice president and board member for Denton Humane Society.
