About Me

Currently, I am a Project Manager for TheeDigital, an award-winning web-development company in Raleigh, North Carolina. My role involves a little bit of everything to get a WordPress website designed, built, and launched. I have to understand the needs of my clients and deliver a site that exceeds expectations while keeping on budget.

As the Design Manager/Senior Graphic Designer for WRAL Digital Solutions in Raleigh, North Carolina I led a successful team that created magic for both internal and external clients.

On a typical day, I’d design websites in Adobe XD, then building them as WordPress sites. And when I say “building,” I am not just talking about fluffy front-end work. I am also able to do nerdy back-end development as well. A CSS expert, yep that’s my job as well. Also, Javascript, PHP, etc. This skill comes in handy when designing user-friendly sites that can perform miracles for our clients. I also design branding, marketing materials, email blasts, signage, collateral, presentation, and video production. You name the media and I’ve probably designed for it.

My professional life before WRAL was in the digital and print world at Tribune-owned Sun-Sentinel newspaper in South Florida. There I wore many hats in many departments, creating & collaborating to design amazing, award-winning work.

I earned Employee of the Year honors (President’s Award) with Sun-Sentinel twice, and with WRAL (Diesel Award).

In 2017, I won an Emmy® Award for Community Service Campaign (PSA), for Project NoRest, which addressed human trafficking in North Carolina.
