EXPERIENCE + Working in the Montgomery market since 2002 for three different advertising agencies has taught me skill and marketing knowledge. Freelancing since 2003 has taught me patience and much greater time management. I started as in intern at LWT and was hired on as a designer and production artist after college. Five and a half years later I moved to Cunningham Group to follow my aspirations as an art director. In 2010 I moved to part-time at Cunningham Group while I worked full-time for a Governor hopeful’s political campaign. Now I’m on my own and ready to rock your advertising needs.
EDUCATION + I graduated in 2003 from Troy University in Troy, Alabama with a Bachelor’s Degree Cum Laude. I earned an Art Double Major in Graphic Design and Painting. During my time at Troy, I studied fine arts as an artist apprentice in Troy, Alabama and Vence, France.
ACHIEVEMENTS + Some of the awards I have received include: two Certificates of Excellence for Createathon® design work; numerous Gold and Silver ADDY® Awards for different projects from the American Advertising Federation–Montgomery, including three Judges’ Choice Awards; and a Silver ADDY® Award for material created for the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts from the American Advertising Federation–7th District. I have been a board member for the American Advertising Federation–Montgomery since 2005 (including President 2010-2012), and have been a coordinator for the American Advertising Federation–7th District since 2008.
HOBBIES + If it’s creative, I do it: graphic design (print and web), sewing, painting, drawing, interior design, crafting, decorating, etc. I also volunteer quite a bit, whether for the Advertising Federation or other non-profits. God gave me a gift, so I use it to better those in need of any creative service I can give. The rest of my time is spent with my wonderful husband Jason, our cat Isabelle, and our dog Blaze. We watch movies, tv, hang out, do yard work and travel.
