My Career Journey
i
Previous Work Experience
With my previous experience working in online marketing, plus my ability to code as well as communicate effectively about technology, I bring to the table a set of skills less often found in designers.
Designer & Front End Developer
WEconnect Health
WEconnect Health uses technology to help people with substance use disorder stay in recovery.
Why I joined: As someone who has been sober since 2016, I've been humbled by the opportunity to help support others on their own paths.
WEconnect has also given me a wonderful opportunity to work alongside more experienced designers and learn the UX practices that they use.
Visual Designer & Web Developer
Versium Analytics
Versium Analytics providers B2B marketers with easy-to-understand and actionable data.
Why I joined: This contract position was my transition from juggling freelance projects to working as an in-house designer on a fantastic team.
Why I Left: A full-time, direct-hire opportunity came along at a company doing work that I believe in and it was something that I couldn't turn down.
Freelance Web Designer & Developer
While transitioning from marketing to design, I worked both part-time and full-time as a freelancer.
Why I started: I knew that freelancing would rapidly grow my skill set and my portfolio, which it did. I was also curious to try working for myself.
Why I Stopped: Through freelancing, I discovered that I'm the type of person who prefers collaborating as part of a team and not running my own business.
Digital Marketing Coordinator
North Atlantic Books
North Atlantic Books is a non-profit that publishes books about the relationship of mind, body, spirit, and nature.
Why I joined: I discovered NAB by reading the copyright pages of my favorite books after deciding to work in publishing. It was the #1 company on my list.
Why I left: While wearing hats that spanned marketing, publicity, editorial, tech, and customer support, I began working on NAB's web site. I fell in love with design and coding and decided to change careers.
