Visual Designer and Illustrator in NYC, She/her/hers

About

Hello, I’m Bethany, and I’m an accomplished visual and interactive designer with a background in illustration, brand development, and UX/UI.

Throughout my career, I have worked diligently to gain a deep understanding of how design elements can be used to convey messages, tell stories, and evoke emotion, and I have applied that knowledge to design projects for clients in multiple industries and of various scopes and sizes.

As a designer, I am passionate about creating user-friendly interfaces, designing marketing campaigns, and developing a brand identity. As an illustrator, I am always excited to use my design skills to create compelling content. I have designed book covers and page content, puzzles, and presentations.

As a project leader, I am skilled in developing plans and finding creative ways to address design issues, ensure consistency across the brand, and align plans with the ultimate objective. My ability to identify gaps, gather and analyze information, and allocate resources has allowed my teams and me to successfully complete large-scale and high-profile design projects.
