Project highlights

Investor forum presentation

I worked closely with Prologis senior leaders at the New York Stock Exchange to create presentations and other materials for the company’s investor forum events. I designed PowerPoint decks, created graphics, and applied animations that assisted with the messaging’s impact. I ensured the presentations were of the highest design quality for the Fortune 500 company.

Groundbreakers event campaign

Prologis annually presents a livestream thought-leadership forum that focuses on topics relevant to the world of global trade and beyond. I designed campaign promotional materials for the event such as social media posts, web banners, advertisements, agendas, and informational guides. I also created large scale banners and other signage for the San Francisco event.

CEO social media statement

I designed this social media graphic, along with many other ones, for Prologis’ Corporate Communications Department to post significant information and company highlights for the public. I worked closely with the department teams to ensure images were on target for the audiences, contained the most accurate information, and were in line with the company’s messaging.

Company proxy statement

For nine years I worked on Prologis’ proxy statements, several which were nominated for Corporate Governance Awards for Best Proxy Statement in the nation. I was the creative lead for the project, art directed the typesetting vendor that assisted with the versions necessary for SEC filing, and also assisted the legal team with several project management responsibilities.

Essentials services campaign

I collaborated with members of Prologis’ Global Marketing Department to create marketing deliverables for the Essentials campaign − the company’s business platform that provides services, equipment, and materials to assist customers. I designed advertisements, social media banners, flyers, and other print and digital assets for the campaign.

Corporate activities branding

At Prologis I was responsible for applying brand styles to a variety of external and internal projects, including promotion items for the company’s various events. One of these projects was the branding of promotional items for a Prologis Golf League’s touring event. I designed the league’s logo that was used on branded merchandise and in advertisements.

Professional expertise

Award-winning designer

Throughout my career I have applied my professional design expertise to numerous digital, print, and presentation projects for Fortune 500 corporations, medical publishing companies, non-profit organizations, and startup businesses. I have won several national and state design awards for my professional work.

Brand identity expert

I have been a creative leader on several visual identify projects and company brand refreshes as a marketing professional. I helped define the visual direction for the Fortune 500 company Prologis during a high-profile company merger, and created many style guides and templates for them. I also helped evolve the company's visual styles during several brand refreshes since 2011.

Skilled team collaborator

My communication skills have been extremely valuable while working with teams on various creative projects. I have partnered with other designers, department leaders, and creative contributors to deliver high-quality results that achieve established goals and succeed for end users.

Experienced art director

In my professional roles at Prologis and Krames Patient Education, I often was responsible for art directing contract designers, creative agencies, photographers, and illustrators for projects ranging from annual reports, publications, digital documents, and presentations. I am a skilled visual thinker with a keen eye for details.

Talented content creator

Over the years I have created published content ranging from illustrations, photographs, and written deliverables. I am a skilled photographer who can take high-quality photographs as well as direct contract photographers to achieve high-caliber results. I also am skilled in creating sophisticated graphics and illustrations for published projects.

Seasoned project manager

While working as a design leader I was responsible for managing creative projects and keeping goals on track. I have experience managing art budgets, communicating directly with vendors about creative content delivery, and scheduling creative reviews for the teams.
