HI, I’M AUDREY! A graphic designer and art director with a lifelong passion for crafting beautiful yet strategic designs. I thrive on creativity, innovation and bringing new ideas to the table, aimed to surpass project and business goals. I have over ten year’s of in-house, corporate and freelance experience and have built many valuable areas of expertise and skills along the way. I am well-versed in creating many forms of visual communications, but my focus is on strategic, eye-catching, and effective point-of-sale graphics, advertising, in-store displays, digital media, field marketing and event graphics, marketing collateral, logo and branding development, and custom invitation suites.
FUN FACT: I practically grew up in the industry! My grandpa and dad opened their first family printing and design company before I was born in the ’70’s – so you can pretty much say graphics has run in my blood for as long as I can remember. As a kid, when I wasn’t building forts out of the paper case boxes, checking out the “dark room” for exposing artwork onto printing plates, practicing old fashioned paste-ups, or jumping around in the paper bins…I have always been eager to learn every aspect of the field. I’ve always dreamt of the day I would become a graphic designer and eventually open my own design company someday.
OVER MY CAREER, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of clients and businesses, and have developed a comprehensive understanding in seeing a project through from concept through execution, and then onto the final printed product. Some of my previous well-known clients and in-house design experiences include Sparkling Ice, Talking Rain Beverage Co, two Seattle Seahawk’s non-profit organizations, Costco, Live Nation (White River and The Gorge), The Seattle Thunderbirds, Best Western, Embassy Suites, Carpinito Brothers Farms, and hundreds [if not thousands] of businesses, non-profits and individuals. I work directly with marketing and brand managers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, small business owners, sales teams, marketing managers and individuals to design their business collateral, materials, and branding.
I’m not your typical designer. I’ve built a unique blend of experiences that I am able to leverage in order to create the best designs possible and surpass client expectations. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Marketing. In my free-time, I enjoy spending time with family, painting, photography, gardening, Pinteresting, and pretty much anything outdoors or artsy.
