  BOOKS, BRANDS, EXHIBITS AND EVENTS — I help clients meet their communications objectives using design as a tool to suss out meaning and make connections. That means giving equal consideration to the message, the way it looks and how people experience it.

• Experiential Designer

  • Feb 2013 - Feb 2016

  The “XE” space is a fast-moving territory encompassing graphic design, event production, social media and more. My role was to develop the ideas and carry them through execution, working closely with teammates and vendors to maintain the essential creative spark. During my time at Periscope, I provided a delightfully insane amount of creative concepting, and a few of those ideas came to life: bubble-blowing backpacks for a street team handing out soap samples, a mini-Metrodome where Vikings fans recorded videos, trade show booths and hospitality suites that cut through the conference din and fostered genuine moments of connection, one-of-a-kind fundraising engagements that transformed an industry mingler into a must-attend event, and much more; February, 2013 to February, 2016 www.periscope.com Show less
