Marketing Designer Specializing in Motion Graphics Based in Rochester, Minnesota.
I've been working in graphic design for over 11 years, blending a strong foundation in print with a passion for motion graphics and video. I have a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and had the opportunity to travel to China during college, expanding my perspective and creative approach. With deep experience in print sizing, layout, and production, I'm also fluent in digital media and bring ideas to life through animation and video. Outside of design, I enjoy woodworking and restoring antiques, which keeps my hands and mind creatively engaged.
This collection of promotional flyers highlights upcoming products with a focus on practical use and visual appeal. Each layout presents the product in action, using lifestyle imagery I built by compositing product photos into carefully selected stock backgrounds. The goal is to inform and inspire — showing how each item fits naturally into everyday life.
Each featured product image was built in Photoshop to mimic realistic lighting and environmental conditions. I matched light direction, shadow, and color tone to create cohesion between the product and its background. The compositions were intentionally structured to balance negative space with bold product placement — allowing room for copy while ensuring the item remains the visual focal point.
For social media use, I reworked the flyer imagery into standalone visuals optimized for Instagram and other platforms. These simplified versions keep the same lighting and composition principles while emphasizing quick visual impact — helping the product stand out in fast-scrolling environments.
