As a Senior Graphic Designer with Cushman & Wakefield, I was responsible for supporting brokerage staff in the Portland office with all Design and Marketing needs. This role was unique in that I was responsible for creative services, as well as project management. I designed and developed extensive digital and print presentation decks, monthly print ads for business journals, email campaigns for quarterly market data updates (including information graphics), illustrations and graphics for proposals and market reports, internal event collateral, property brand development, property marketing deliverables, and interior graphics (during an office renovation process). When I was not personally photographing events, property interiors/exteriors, and portraits, I was responsible for working with photographers to coordinate photography needs. Printed materials required file and color preparation, as well as budgeting and coordinating execution and delivery with print vendors.
