Pages, Circa 2013. National Human Resources Association (NHRA). This piece was sent to the NHRA affiliate chapter leaders to drive awareness of the retreat. It features branded colors and images, and showcases the meeting agenda. This document was emailed to the target audience and for some reason the room booking link, as a pretty url, wasn’t working on the recipients end but it was with the messy url you see here. Other than that little bug, I’m completely happy with the final result.

Photoshop, Circa 2011. This was a complicated piece. This was originally a page in a local magazine featuring Mr. Cooper (see original). I cut out the advertisements in the boxes on the right side, and added a course description and about section. Then I branded it to the necessary academic institution that offered the course (see edited). This piece was originally a PDF, and the “Add to Cart” button was dynamic and redirected the user to the registration page.

Photoshop, Circa 2007. In Business School, I was part of a team in an Advertising Campaign course and we were tasked with creating a campaign for the 2008 Cadillac CTS. Our campaign was a rebrand to help Cadillac capture a younger professional demographic. Our campaign was appropriately titled, “The Next Step,” which was to position the CTS as the next step in life. I.e., School, Marriage, Job, 2008 Cadillac CTS. I had the idea for this concept while thinking about cars and what’s often written on them. I then remembered the rear view mirror text, and took a spin on that to capture the essence of our campaign, which I personally thought was clever.
