DESCRIPTION
Graphic Designer Resume
Citation preview
I’m Lauren-Ashley a graphic designer by day and crafter by night. A strong work ethic is one of my many super powers. I’m dedicated dependable and always ready to help and assume other responsibilities as they come along. As the print production/graphic designer for Empower Woman Publications I achieved success by strategically designing in both print and digital formats for editorial layouts and marketing/event collateral. I worked closely with advertisers to make sure their visions were interpreted through my designs. By prioritizing projects and organizing my schedule I met deadlines in a fast-paced environment while improving the overall look of the publications.
While working at the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District I use my multi-tasking skills to answer phones, register customer for classes as well as design flyers, re-design forms, and event materials for the marketing department. In the past, I have also taken photography for our events in the summer to use in the brochure.
I’m confident that my design experience has prepared me for making an immediate contribution and a valuable addition to the Park Ridge Library.
I would love the chance to meet & discuss my qualifications. You can reach me at 708-829-0275 or [email protected]
Sincerely, Lauren-Ashley Barnes
Cover Letter
Right now I’m reading Oprah’s A Little Book of Life Lessons: Words That Matter. Love Harry Potter Books, all of John Hughes 80’s teen movies (especially 16 Candles), steak tacos & guacamole!
I’m a virtual volunteer on womenoncall.org. I love spending some of my free time doing volunteer graphic design work for non-for-profits here in Chicago. I’ve worked with Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois, Porchlight Counseling Services & Call to Action.
