Talroo / Senior Designer

Apr 2017 - Oct 2019

As senior designer, I was in charge of leading the brand transition from Jobs2Careers to Talroo. I designed and established the Talroo brand as a sleek, modern alternative to the competition that existed in the job advertising space. After establishing brand guidelines, I helped to evolve and enforce brand standards. With Talroo’s popularity increasing, I worked to edit and produce Talroo’s first commercials. These would soon be featured on our website, Austin-Bergstrom Airport, linked in Ads, Conference booth videos, etc.

Project managed brand marketing campaigns across multiple mediums and managed vendor relationships for print, trade shows, and advertising efforts. I designed and implemented our company website along with creating premium digital advertisements for google ads, linkedin, and various other ad platforms.

Duties

Ipply / Head of Creative

Aug 2015 - Oct 2016

I designed, branded, developed, and launched 2 websites for ipply, a uniquely free applicant tracking system application. While developing the brand and website, I lead the ux / design efforts on the mobile app. We designed the hiring assistant specifically for Android and iOS platforms using design standards for each. Ipply assisted in qualifying talent, organizing your jobs across all hiring platforms, simplifying job metrics, and allowing you to easily track your favorite candidates. After pitching for House of Genius in 2016, ipply landed a last minute ‘featured app’ booth for innovating tech.

Jobs2Careers / Senior UX Developer

Feb 2015 - Apr 2017

After 1 year of working as UX Designer at Jobs2Careers, I was promoted to Senior UX Developer after self-starting several design/development projects that helped generate the business more daily revenue and created new product revenue streams. While continuing to evolve the Jobs2Careers visual identity as a place that had “Everything from small jobs to big careers,” the business started to pivot towards a more B2B focus. This altered my focus from job seekers to small/medium business owners and enterprise. This shift in focus allowed me to start the research and ux process for a user dashboard which allowed a granular level of control to manage and edit budgeted job campaigns.
