In my role as a designer at TGD Communications, I was lucky to have worked on a wide variety of projects. From magazines for various private and government associations to redesigning web pages and newsletters, I found myself juggling multiple projects, which often required a variety of skills to successfully execute. I worked on a wide range of campaign and conference materials for these associations, including web content, signage, and print materials. During my time at TGD, I often found myself as the main contact point for these projects, juggling the lines of communication through email and job boards like Jira, Asana, and Basecamp. Learning from the best, this position offered me the most creative freedom when it came to designing, but also taught me how to exercise my creative flow jumping from one brand identity to the next.
In my role, I collaborated closely with Product Development and Photography teams, contributing significantly to the creation and refinement of 300+ page catalogs. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in conceptualizing and executing impactful B2B marketing campaigns, overseeing everything from email content to briefs and various digital assets like banners, landing pages, gifs, and social media posts. I took charge of managing and enhancing photography across diverse channels such as email, social media, website, and print, ensuring a consistent visual identity. Juggling multiple projects concurrently, I meticulously ensured the cohesiveness of assets tailored for web, mobile, social media, showroom, and other channels, while also collaborating on UX/UI strategies. Notably, my contributions led to a 25% increase in conversion rates following the redevelopment of our B2B website.
