WORK HISTORY
RealSelf | January 2019—March 2020
Senior Designer
Senior Designer for a leading online platform for aesthetic treatments and procedures. While at RealSelf, I collaborated across UX/UI, Product, Marketing, and leadership teams to unite B2B and B2C identities under a single, flexible brand system. In 2019, I also helped bring the brand to life in an environmental setting through the launch of their first traveling, experiential “pop-up” activations called House of Modern Beauty. I helped to establish this inaugural program through creative direction, design programming, fabrication, and installation management (at a local and national level) for each unique event space and location.

Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) | September 2011—July 2017
Senior Graphic Designer
Senior Graphic Designer at a nonprofit museum with a curatorial focus on music, sci-fi, and contemporary pop culture. My core responsibilities included art direction, design, and production of creative collateral for museum events, gala fundraisers, community programs, and exhibit-focused marketing campaigns that transcended print, digital, and dimensional mediums. During my time at the museum, I helped lead two rebranding efforts that evolved the institution’s identity to better align with its mission and programming, while also introducing efficiencies in flexible design systems to reduce future expense, time, and materials.
