Work Experience

Brand and Social Media Manager // 6D Enterprises llc // La Sal, UTah // may 2023 - present

As the Brand and Social Media Manager at 6D Enterprises, I have gained extensive experience in digital brand management. My key project, Financially Empowered Female, involved creating an entire brand system, developing and maintaining the company website, and executing a comprehensive social media strategy. I also designed a range of brand materials, such as social media posts, digital products and resources. This position has provided me with the unique opportunity to build a brand from scratch, refine my web design skills, and enhance my expertise in social media management to drive user engagement and business growth.

graphic designer // Southwest technical college // cedar city, utah // may 2021 - may 2023

At Southwest Technical College, I had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, primarily focusing on creating digital and print promotional materials for the college. My responsibilities included designing posters, flyers, digital monitor ads, social media ads, banners, physical signage, and various program logos. As a member of the marketing department, I worked personally with the Director of Marketing, coordinating daily to complete tasks and present designed materials. In addition, I had the opportunity to work as a part of the events team, where I assisted with planning and promoting college events. I also collaborated with other departments, including a project with the EMT department to design a new ambulance wrap for a donated vehicle. Additionally, I played a key role in a collaborative effort with college partners to develop a brand system for a multi-institutional business and innovation center aimed at supporting startup businesses.

Freelance Work

Double l custom saddle trees // september 2022

Cedar city chamber of commerce // November 2021 - April 2022

During my freelance work with the Cedar City Chamber of Commerce, I collaborated with the President on multiple logo design projects. A key project was designing a logo for the Rural Utah Chamber Coalition, which includes various rural chambers of commerce across Utah. The challenge here was to create a logo that embodied the unique qualities of many different regions. I achieved this by selecting imagery and colors that would be meaningful to a broad audience. Another significant project was for the BIG Chamber of Commerce, representing Beaver, Iron, and Garfield counties. I aimed to craft a visual identity that connected with the distinctive landscapes and cultures of these areas, using Southern Utah’s scenery as inspiration. Additionally, I contributed to several short logo redesign projects as needed. This experience was particularly distinct because the logos needed to be approved by large groups of people, requiring designs that could resonate with diverse audiences and represent varied local cultures.
