What’s your role and how long have you been at Innovative?
I’ve been here for 3.5 years as a graphic designer. Last year, social media coordinator was added to my title.
What’s your favorite memory from Innovative?
This is a tough one! The social channel on Slack has added so many positive memories here at Innovative. But if I had to choose one, it would be the times we do team bonding with Buzzfeed quizzes. The results not only let you learn more about your colleagues, but there’s always witty banter that comes along with our answers!
What’s the most challenging part of your job?
One of the more challenging parts of my role would have to be keeping things fresh and different across our clients/industries. When we are busy, it can be easier to stay in the mold and do what can be the easiest to execute. So, I like to challenge myself to research new trends and design elements to add some spice to our publications! That in and of itself can be challenging as well, because you are learning while completing a task for our clients. It’s always worth the stress in the end, seeing clients happy with the results!
When you’re not working, what can you be found doing?
More than likely hanging out with my fiancé. Whether we are doing errands or chilling on the couch, he is glued to my hip! When he’s not, I also enjoy playing a plethora of video games, mostly sandbox/open-ended games, or trying my hand at crafting/traditional art. All in all, I never stop being creative on and off the clock!
What movie, television or book character represents you the best?
I think Rapunzel from Tangled! She’s funny, creative and not afraid to voice her opinions. She also takes care of those that she loves. (I was also a natural blonde at one point so it’s fitting in that way too, lol.)
What’s a song you currently have on repeat?.
I have a playlist dedicated to my favorite Taylor Swift songs if we are going for a generic answer. More specifically from that playlist, I notice playing “Exile (feat. Bon Iver)” more than the rest at the moment.
What are some of your favorites (show, movie, book, musical artist, game, etc.)?
As mentioned above, Taylor Swift makes up one of my many personalities. I also enjoy playing Stardew Valley, which Liz got me on, and I thank her because that game is amazingly addictive. I also enjoy watching trashy reality TV such as 90 Day Fiancé and Love Is Blind. Honorable mentions to my animals, which have been featured on social media posts: Spagooter, Toast, Mozzarella and our new addition, Butterscotch! Spagooter is a short-haired black cat, Toast and Butterscotch are long-haired black cats, and Mozzarella is an albino hedgehog. All four of them keep things interesting at home!
