MY WORK

I have done works ranging from Branding Design to Department Marketing that has challenged her. My skills as a designer include, but not limited to: communication, time management, and determination. My process starts off with a sketch of the idea then tailoring my ideas with the customer's goal. Communication between myself and the customer is imperative during this time.

Since the start of working at the University of South Carolina, combining my creative talents with a new found business has opened a new world for me. Striving to be a Project Manager, my positions deal with Project estimation and forecasting, Data Analysis, and Project Maintenance under the guidance of the Emergency Project Manager of Facilities and the Director of Work Management.

Process

I believe that good quality design requires more than just creativity. It requires research, analysis and close collaboration with you to reflect your organization's vision, strengths, messages and priorities. To ensure that my design aligns with your expectations, I've developed a four-phase process to guide us every step of the way.

• Phase I: Research

Before any actual creative work begins, I conducts extensive background research. I will meet with you to understand your goals, audience needs and project expectations. In addition, I will conduct market, customer and competitive research to gather additional insight. Once my research is complete, I will provide a creative brief to summarize the results of our inquiries and outline the project, along with a detailed project schedule to ensure on-time delivery.

• Phase II: Design

When the analysis is complete and you are on board with the initial concepts, design work begins. I keep your communication needs and priorities at the core of every design decision from colors to image selection to font styles. Typically, I explore several different creative approaches before centering on our main creative ideas. Based on your feedback, I evolve these creative approaches into comprehensive design directions. As part of this process, I will deliver at least three creative concepts for your evaluation.

• Phase III: Implementation

After you select your preferred creative direction, I begin design execution by working with you to select images and gather copies for the final design pieces. I produce draft outputs for your review and make sure that your input is reflected before any piece goes into production. When your quality standards (and mine) are achieved, I prepare your design pieces for final production. I collaborate closely with any third-party vendors (such as printers) to make sure that the finished product meets your expectations.

• Phase IV: Evaluation

After the design is complete, I follow up with you to assess the outcome of the project. We are keen to hear not only your insights on our process and designs, but also any feedback you have received from your audiences. If desired, I can work with you to design data-gathering tools (such as customer surveys) to collect insight from your target audiences
