What I'm looking for

I'm looking to bring hands-on brand, marketing, and production experience to a role where I can lead creative work from concept through delivery and keep many moving pieces organized.

I've designed and marketed for Spokane-area small businesses and organizations across branding, web, motion, video, print, packaging, and social content.

As co-owner, operator, and designer at Bottle Bay Brewing Co., I built the brand identity and ran creative, marketing, social accounts, advertising budget, events, vendors, festival booths, and a monthly artist program through the brewery's 2023 sale.

At Kouchlock Productions and Versatile Design Studios, I managed creative across statewide producer brands, retail partnerships, community outreach, event promotion, signage, logos, infographics, reports, packaging, and domestic and overseas print production.

Through Cuswrks, I handle small-business design and marketing relationships end to end—from the first call and proposal through revisions, delivery, and follow-up.
