Hello! Currently, I've worked remotely for an Atlanta-based traveling exhibition company for the past year as a Graphics/Production Designer. I am a part of the creative team for the traveling Harry Potter Exhibition.
Before moving on to my current role, I was an asset to Ripley Entertainment's design and development team for almost 10 years, as their Senior Attractions Designer. Throughout time, I was able to experience every aspect of the development process from conceptual and drawing plan design to installation for themed attractions, traveling exhibitions, and museum galleries.
In terms of my skillset, there's not much I haven't tried creatively in my career - during the recession I learned to be a jack of all trades to survive as a freelancer. Learning and mastering new skills and software has always been an adaptable quality of mine. My background is versatile, with skills in graphic design, marketing, museum gallery design, interactive game design, web design and development, 3D architectural design, photography, and video production. I also developed 3D animation projects several years ago.
In my personal life, I recently became a new mom to a beautiful little girl! Life is busy these days, but I enjoy traveling, designing succulent arrangements for my friends and family, crafting cocktails, and being outdoors as much as possible alongside my husband, daughter, and three dogs (I love animals! I also have three cats, an aquarium and a panther chameleon).
