Introduction I am a freelance designer and hold a diploma in Digital Art and Design from Thompson Rivers University (formerly University College of the Cariboo). I was the contract designer for 12 years for Visitor Guides (winter & summer) for the Valemount/Mt. Robson area, before the business was sold. I am also employed as a Graphic Designer with Thompson Rivers University. During this time I have worked on the graphic designs of many publications instrumental in re-branding the university as it changed from UCC to TRU, as well as, maintaining that brand and identity. My client base at the University include the Athletics Dept, for which I do all promo materials for the TRU WolfPack: posters, media guides, yearly magazine, tickets, kid's club promotions, etc; and our Regional Centres: bi-annual program booklets. I also produce numerous newsletters and magazines for various facility. My work ethic, professionalism and creativity is reflected in each of the publications I have created for TRU, whether those projects are forms for department administration, magazines, advertisements, web designs or entire marketing campaigns. Years of publication work have honed my eyes for catching the little mistakes and sharpened my proofreading skills. I have extensive knowledge of lay-out and design and of the software used to create these pieces. I am familiar with a variety of printing processes and the requirements needed to produce print-ready files.
