Graphic Design

In my current role at Alluvia Studio, I design for web, social, large and small format printing, videos, and presentations. After 21 years in design, I am the resident print and CMYK authority, and I have created a learning module for my coworkers on best practices for all things print. 

This position has allowed me to learn so much more about website design, emails, and video editing. InDesign is still my love language, but I feel more confident than ever in the entire Adobe creative suite; Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, After Effects, Premier Pro, etc., along with other tools like Powerpoint, Word, Excel, Figma, Litmus, Webflow, Social media platforms, etc.

Some of the things I am most excited about learning here are copywriting and brand strategy. I feel getting more involved at the earlier stages of the design process has made me a better designer. I ask more questions now and my work is a lot more strategic and focused on the client’s story. 

In my role here, I am heavily relied upon for illustrations and brand work; logos, typography, color theory, and brand guidelines, etc. The bread and butter of Alluvia is our presentations and pitch decks. Unfortunately, many of those projects are internal/confidential/classified, and I am unable to highlight much of that work. We work hard every day for our clients (ranging from billion-dollar established corporations to brand new startup medtech companies) and I have many of their external/public art pieces in my portfolio here. 

Internally, we recently overhauled our Alluvia Studio website, and as the main designer for the initial design, I feel very proud of it! Check it out by clicking the photo at right, many of the example pieces highlighted there are also my work.
