Professional History
Design Commission 2006 - present
Design Commission (DC) is a studio specializing in creating websites, web applications and interactive experiences that solve problems and build value for clients. Some of my responsibilities with DC included graphic design, information architecture, user experience, and production for websites, web applications, logos/ brand schemes, booklets, and email templates. I have done work on projects for larger companies such as Marchex, Corbis, Microsoft and AT&T - as well as local start up businesses such as Pathable, Sustainable Group, and Innerfence. I have also branded & designed websites for many internal projects including DC Gallery, UIStencils.com, and WrkHive web applications.
Participating in Pioneer Squares First Thursday art walk, DC Gallery features artists who raise awareness of contemporary design. Not only have I supported the gallery in branding and website design, but I have also curated, marketed and produced many successful gallery exhibitions.
Seattle Center for Book Arts 2007 - present
SCBA has been working with Seattle Public Libraries on Summer book making classes specialized for kids and teens. As a teacher for these classes, I worked with up to 30 students between the ages of 4-16 in an 3 hour open workshop environment. My tasks also included preparation for classes, set-up and take down.
Catch & Release Design 2007 - 2009
Catch & Release Design is a small business I started as a creative outlet and way to take design out of my computer and make it tangible. I own my own letterpress and screen printing set up in which I create hand printed books, posters, notebooks, cards and invitations.
