Creative Director
Aug 2018 – Nov 2020
I started at ObservePoint as a Graphic Designer. I learned and grew from a fantastic creative director who taught me about management and operations for a creative team. I was promoted to a Sr. Graphic Designer after a year and then promoted again to Creative Manager. After the creative director left, I was allowed to prove I could be the creative director. After a 1 year period, I was promoted to creative director, where I managed a team of writers, designers, developers, and videographers.
We rebranded all of the assets involved with ObservePoint expect the logo and the yellow color. We launched events with their own brand but had a similar feel as ObservePoint so they would stay cohesive.
Creative Work
2010 – Present
As a freelancer, I have worked with a lot of different brands, which has given me a lot of experience in various industries. A few key assets I created were ads, websites, whitepapers/ebooks, blog assets, videos, and branding strategies that included brand guidelines, logos, fonts, colors, brand voice, and brand visual assets.
Contract Designer
Sept 2023 – Jan 2024
I worked with JobNimbus for a few months as a contract designer. I worked with their creative director to use their existing brand to design on-brand assets such as ads, slide decks, event print banners, and print collateral.
The experience I gained while working with another creative director was so valuable. I got a glimpse into how he was directing and managing his team. It gave me a lot of ideas, and I then implemented them into my own work strategy.
Correctional Officer
Feb 2024 – Present
As a Correctional Officer at the Utah State Prison, I ensured the safety and security of the facility by supervising inmate activities, conducting inspections, and responding to emergencies. I escorted inmates, maintained detailed logs, and enforced institutional policies while fostering a respectful environment. I collaborated with staff to ensure smooth operations and received training in de-escalation and crisis management. I was recognized for my professionalism in challenging situations and played a key role in reducing contraband and mentoring new officers.
