Where I've Been, What I've Done
Currently, I'm the marketing and branding consultant as one-half of the boutique design firm Random Sky Studios. I also did this prior to working in external affairs at Rice University. Our Random Sky roster of clients has been quite varied and have included:
- Small start-ups, where we built their brand from the ground up
- Non-profits where we have worked within limited budgets
- Fortune 500 companies that outsource creative where we maintained their established branding standards
At Rice University, as the assistant director of marketing and public relations for the Rice MBA program, my key areas responsibility included:
- Project management and coordination of the majority of creative
- Client contact on major print and web projects
- Web editor for the school's website and content management system
- A team lead on implementation of two website redesigns
- Writing, editing web copy and press releases
- Primary representative of brand consistency — I was also highly involved in creating the branding standards
- Media purchases
- Arranging faculty media coverage
I have a sharp focus on superior client service and combine that with researching and understanding their target audience and requirements of all stakeholders involved. My high success rate of delivering projects with high-quality clean, simple design that stay within budget parameters and achieve sustainable ROI for clients is an essential core value I bring to any new job endeavor.
