“Visual Harmonizer”

putting words and numbers in their place and making them dazzle

After completing my accounting duties (helping Rob organize the chaos on his desk), I assist TIS with projects that need my creative expertise. After graduating from Grand Valley State University's graphic design program in 2011, I interned at the West Michigan Environmental Action Council prior to coming to TIS. Fresh into my "Big-Girl Job," I'm learning a great deal about working at an innovative design and marketing agency and hope to continue growing. I want to help businesses realize how important design is in communication. My goal is to prove that a well-designed marketing piece will provide a much better response.
