I received my undergraduate degree in graphic design, which means I can use all those fancy buzzwords like "kerning" and "gestalt" while actually being able to apply them. I can make websites, mockups, and brand identities with a well-designed foundation. This also means that your Art Director won't need to hold my hand or give me a style guide every step of the way.
Creative Suite, Information Design, Branding
As a Creative Technologist, I am well trained in all aspects if Information Architecture, User Experience, and Interface Design. I can work within every step of the process, from creating site maps, to paper prototyping, to usability testing. I'm such a nerd about it I even purchased stencils and template paper simply to have some cleaner documentation.
Wireframing, Prototyping, Usability
No, I'm not saying that I'm a "social media expert", but I'm a digital native. I am very familiar with (or an overly active user of) anything from microblogging services, to site analytics, to memes. If your company needs someone who "get's it" - I'm your gal. Some examples: I am a Content Editor at Tumblr, a ROFLCon Staffer, and I had a Twitter account before Oprah did.

My friends and I did a 24-hour "hackathon" where we aimed to build a site in 24 hours. This was it, it's a sleep tracking site that's been featured on Lifehacker.
Data Visualization is a passion of mine. I realized that I didn't know much about our Presidents, nor did I really have a grasp on the National Debt - so I tried to visualize it. This was featured on Flowing Data in June of 2010.
Worked on an RFP while interning at Freed Advertising and helped win the New Business Pitch with my contributions. Was involved from Concepting Process to Production.
