Life at Salt (August 2003 - March 2006)
I oversaw implementation of large-scale design and branding projects for global clients (Microsoft, Disney, Sprint, among others). Identity systems, collateral and environmental materials, presentations. I developed content for a vast array of visual language systems. It was a great place to pick up business and presentation skills. A fun group of smart and dedicated people unafraid to express strong opinions.
Prior Foundation(s)
My previous experience included many of the same kind of projects – alternating freelance and fulltime – but often in a lesser role. I did enjoy some standout engagements at Studio Archetype, Department 3, Luxon-Carrà, Aluminum Zinc, and even as part of the creative services department at BofA.
Design / Thinking / Branding
Direct work with companies, creative agencies, and individuals. Digital and print design, UI, information graphics and visualizations, branding analysis and guidelines, identity systems, presentations, a sprinkle of coding.
I've worked on complicated, time-sensitive projects so I know what to look out for, when to ask questions, and when to dig in to get the work done.
