Meet Your Pilot
I love the challenge of learning about your world and then conveying it well! I specialize in writing and designing long-form documents like reports, user manuals, publications and proposals, as well as making infographics and technical illustrations.
My company name “Aviatrix” is an old-school term for a female aviator. It’s about letting creative ideas take flight in the hands of an experienced and well-prepared flying ace. The pilot theme comes from my attitude toward design: we’re going to have a map, a plan, and the whole crew on board. When we start a project, I’ll make sure you know exactly where we’re going and how we’re getting there (head over here for more details about my process).
Background
I’ve been in the business of communication for a very long time, getting my start with a degree in Communications and then working as a writer and marketing assistant. As these jobs exposed me to the world of content design, I fell in love and went back to school. After graduating, I landed a job as graphic designer for the marketing company Primal Tribe, where I worked on everything from logos to product packaging. Later on I moved to the publishing world, illustrating and designing magazines for JuneWarren-Nickles Energy Group.
My portfolio shows a smattering of what I can do, but if you don’t see an example of your specific project please chat with me anyway! I’ve worked with a wide range of media both physical and digital – e-learning courses, pop-up banners, t-shirts, and even packaging for alcoholic freezies.
