With Papa Murphy's, I had the opportunity to work with a team of designers to develop best-in-class advertis-
ing. I worked along side the corporate marketing team, outside vendors, and the Papa Murphy's franchisee
community. I performed the tasks of print design and coordination on both a local and national level. As a
team we produced graphics for print, web, and television. As an in-house studio, our responsibility was not just
to maintain, but to also improve the Papa Murphy's brand awareness (brand standard creation). We handled the
development and production of all of Papa Murphy’s graphics from P.O.P. materials, store signage (menu
re-design), to trade show and large format signage and internal communications (newsletter, letterhead, e-mail)

development of worldwide packaging for Hewlett-Packard, as they were our primary client. These responsibilities
included, but were not limited to, brand maintenance, process improvement and development, packaging design and
mock up production, photography direction and translation management. As Creative Lead, I oversaw our internal
