Experience
Bare Escentuals, Sr, Packaging Designer, June 2007-November 2008
At Bare Escentuals I collaborated with our web, visual merchandising and packaging team to communicate a cohesive
message for each season. In order to achieve this I lead the team in creating an inspiration wall that allowed us to pick
colors, pattern and imagery to have clear direction. I also partner with our sourcing team early in the design phase to
manage cost of each package.
Old Navy, Art Director/ Designer, December 2005-June 2007
Through Fashion Labeling and Packaging, I work with Vendors and Product
Designers on techniques that will elevated their product. In order to keep up with trends in the market place I host
Trend Presentations for each season to show what the competitors are doing and how it translates to our business
motto. By collaborating with cross-functional partners I’ve gain a new love for the fast passed world of fashion.
Lee Jeans, Graphic Designer, April 2003-August 2005
I concept label packaging and in-store signage. I’ve collaborated with the merchandising designer to create a trade show
booth for Lee’s European inspired denim Lee Authentics. I’ve also lead the team in developing promotional, collateral
material and packaging for the Lee Authentics line in high-end boutiques.
Hallmark Cards Inc. Graphic Designer, August 2001-April 2003
I concept and execute season cards, gifts and packaging products such as wrapping paper and gift bags. I learned a great
deal about processes and formats in order to develop product that would appeal to the consumer.
Freelance
Hutner Group, San Francisco, CA, October 2005-December 2005
While working with Hutner Group, I designed comprehensive sales material for Pacific Marketing’s real estate endeavor
The Shores. This included an identity system, sales brochure, signage and web design. This opportunity allowed me to
expand my strength in multiple areas of design.
Liquid 9 Creative Media Boutique, Graphic Designer, May 2004
I lead the studio in putting together a promotional DVD package for potential clients. By creating illustrations and using
their brand colors it became a clean and sophisticated approach that allowed their clients to learn about the business.
Sew Be It, T-shirt line, April 2004-Present
I have currently launched my own t-shirt line. I’ve lead in developing the business, how it’s sold and the face of the product.
