graphic design

Oh design, what can I say about it other than it's my #1 fave thing to do. I am SO extremely lucky to have a career that I am so passionate about. Other than being a mom full time, I get to go to work doing what I love full-time as well. I am the Associate Creative Director at a creative agency in Tempe called MINDSPACE. I've been with the company for 9 years and counting and it's my home away from home. Aside from being an awesome place to work, with totally rad people, it just keeps getting better and better and I've been afforded the luxury of working on hundreds of projects that just keep evolving. I started in print and as times change, so does the marketing/design industry. We've done print, direct mail, websites, emails (my least fave), branding, packaging, magazines, and now, we've moved into the realm of gamification, mobile app and game design. It's all so much fun and I would do it even if I didn't get paid...shhh, don't tell my boss ;)

I haven't had the time to gather a portfolio sampling since I've been happily employed and had not had a need for it for a LONG time, but I can throw up a few things I happen to have easy access to at the moment. I'll update with more exciting samples as time allows (yeah, right).
