PROJECTS

Interactive Storytelling Presentations, Data-Driven Graphics, and Front-End Web Development

I'm the director of visual media at Crain Communications, a global B2B media company based in Detroit. 

I oversee a team of art directors, digital designers, and web producers designing interactive storytelling presentations, data-driven graphics, and user-friendly landing pages for several business news brands.

 

Before being promoted to my current role, I was a senior digital news designer. I designed digital presentations, interactive graphics, and custom landing pages.

While earning a master's degree in Information and Communications Technology, I also took coursework focused on UX/UI design and user research. My education gave me the skills to build digital products and implement creative solutions for four digital news products while I worked for news organizations in the Colorado Springs and Denver metro area.
