It was a wonderful experience working with Kristen and I am especially thankful for her expertise and creativity. Kristen did a great job of being patient in producing options and changes as our department requested new and different things from her. She was organized and managed time in a way that allowed for creativity and productivity. Kristen would be an asset to any team.

      As Senior Graphic Designer at a luxury real estate company in South Florida, and part of our in-house marketing department, I focus on designing marketing materials for some of our highest producing agents under tight time constraints. I provide creative solutions for on-brand materials such as magazine and newspaper ads, digital ads, brochures and mailers, e-blasts, agent logos, listing signage, and social media posts. In addition to providing materials for our agents, I also design and update a variety of our corporate materials, including but not limited to, ad templates and sponsorship material. While managing my projects and deadlines I am also responsible for gathering required materials from the agents and following through with proofing and submission of all materials to the print vendor. I maintain relationships and cater to our agents while enforcing our brand guidelines and review materials created outside of our company for compliance. I am also responsible for training any new graphic design hires in our department. Show less

    • Graphic Designer - Temporary Position
      • Feb 2011 - May 2011

      The graphic designer at this company was leaving, so in the interim I took over his position for 4 months after 2 weeks of training. I provided branding solutions for server hardware appliances by creating 2d and 3d custom faceplate design and packaging elements. I wrote proposals for each project and worked closely with 7 salespeople. At the end of the four months, I could not apply for the job due to an impending move.

      Was a graphic designer in our in-house Creative Services Department. I have worked closely with our inside customers (Sales and Mareketing) and other various dept's of the company to provide quality, creative design and layout to many different areas of our business. Some of these are: Malibu Lighting, InTouch Controls, and Home Settings. I work with 3 other designers on a daily basis, and an Art Director. Laying out packages from die-line to print, designing collateral pieces, sell-sheets, POP and trade show materials are some of the things I do on a daily basis. In this position, my main focus is to promote the company's products through clean, clear and concise messaging, while maintaining the established look and feel of the brand. Show less
