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.

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.

Education

The Cal Poly Art & Design program provided the foundation for my career as a graphic designer focused on print work. Because so many clients benefit from a designer with both print and web skills, I pursued additional web design courses through the Skillcrush online bootcamp to round out my knowledge base.

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.
