Overflow Assistance

For when there’s too much work to go around.
When your team’s bandwidth gets tight, having a reliable freelance designer to hand off projects to can make the difference between your team just scraping by and truly excelling.

 

Designer Fill-In

For in-house designers on temporary leave.
Have an in-house designer leaving on personal or parental leave for an extended period of time? Allow Pocket Creative to fill in for the duration so your team can keep up in their absence.

 

Production Support

For recurring tasks that just need to get done.
Production work just needs to get done — no matter how boring or tedious it may be. Send those recurring tasks to Pocket Creative and free up your team to focus on the rest of their to-do list.

Experience

Since starting out as a professional designer in 2011, I have gained experience working as an agency designer, in-house designer, and freelancer. View my complete RESUME HERE.

Agency

The Parable Group | San Luis Obispo, CA
While at the marketing agency The Parable Group, I designed catalogs, POP signage, and other marketing materials to support promotional sales for 200+ retail stores across the US.

 

In-House

Artslandia Magazine | Portland, OR
While working in-house at Artslandia Magazine, I designed and produced features for Artslandia’s annual and quarterly arts magazines and playbills for Portland-area arts groups.

 

Freelance

Pocket Creative | Portland, OR
As a freelancer I have worked with local and national brands including Bowflex, The Population Reference Bureau, KinderCare Education, LitART, and Premiere Property Group.

Being able to trust that your freelance designer cares about the quality of the final product as much as you do makes all the difference.

When your team needs a boost, Pocket Creative has your back.

 

To sum it all up…

As a designer who has belonged to creative teams in the past, I am well-equipped to provide consistent, reliable service to lighten the load for your team while working either independently or in conjunction with other team members.

I know that my work will reflect not only on myself, but on both you and your team, as well. I strive always to be the freelancer you can count on to care about the quality of your projects as much as you do.

Drop me a line and we’ll figure out how Pocket Creative can best support your team.
