Description
I pride myself on possessing solid business acumen, a tireless work ethic, and an intrinsic drive to succeed. Throughout my career, my exceptional communication skills, my ability to assess user/client needs and identify effective solutions, and strong design abilities have been the hallmarks of my success. I’m technically proficient in a variety of programs including Figma, Sketch and the Adobe Creative Suite and I’m flexible in learning new styles. I am also experienced in working in fast-paced, deadline driven environments, both in my role as an Associate Media Director with clients such as TikTok, Uber, and Carl’s Jr and also as a Design Intern with Young & Hungry.
At your convenience, I would like to arrange for an interview to come in and show you my portfolio. In the meantime, I encourage you to view my work online at www.KirstenMaher.com. Thank you for your time and consideration.
