Accomplishments

I redesigned the Xout website together with another designer; we developed a strong aesthetic and cohesive feel to the site that will carry through future campaigns and brand identity for years to come.

 

I processed through several projects that featured Kendall Jenner, most notably the Selfie Light web page and the Ulta Store Display Signage, both of which were expedited without sacrificing quality.

 

At Guitar Center I edited and prepared all of the images for our GoPro Hero5 and GoPro Hero5 Session launch in the summer of 2016, including managing multiple sensitive assets and maintaining confidentiality until official launch.
