As a radio corporation, now just expanding across mediums into digital and print assets, Entercom Portland hired me on as a designer and quickly moved me into the lead design position on the creative services team. Here I produced and developed everything from full marketing campaigns to the actual designs and creative collaterals for those campaigns. Working on client accounts ranging from Scion/Toyota to New Seasons Markets, OMSI to Furniture Outlet, I had the chance to really explore my abilities and work across all mediums within my skills. This included print design, web design, web architecture, development, video production and editing, photography, and an excellent amount of analytics auditing and web management duties.

A custom golf apparel manufacturer and retailer, this company required a great amount of design and development “overhauling.” I took it from a templated site with limited usability and friendliness to a full-featured, custom designed site that was both accessible and user-friendly. My job also involved a good amount of production design with printed materials and various conventions and expos.
