Hi, I'm Kirsten! I have 8 years of Graphic Design experience in both a creative agency setting, and as a freelancer. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design. I currently work for myself as a freelancer. I specialize in layout design, digital and social ad design, 508 Compliance, and marketing collateral design. I am fully skilled in all types of deliverables. I have a lot of experience collaborating with a team and also working independently. I was a full time designer on a 6 year contract for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically working on creating marketing materials, branded collateral, social media, and advertising design for the department of Mental Health Services. Having 8 years of agency work has allowed me to work well under pressure, maintain quick turnaround times, and work with many different types of people on one project. In my spare time, I dabble in fashion Illustration and spend time with my family in Northen VA. I value efficiency and seek to deliver high quality work while being efficient in my process. Reach out to me with any questions about all the work I have done over the past few years!
My skills:
- Layout design (books, reports, one pagers, brochures, etc.)
- Social media design (social posts, instagram story posts, icons, etc.)
- 508 compliance (color contrast, tagging, alt. text, meta data, etc.)
- Advertising design (Ad sets, social, media, interactive ads, paid media, etc.)
- Brand identity design (logos, mood boards, brand guides, etc.)
- Proofreading/copyediting (currently taking a few courses on this!)
- Drawing/illustration (iPad Pro, Procreate, pencil drawing)
