Hi, I'm Dawn.

I’m a Creative Project Manager / Senior Production Designer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

About Me

In my years of production, design, and management experience, I have worked with businesses and nonprofits large and small on a number of diverse projects. My specialties include InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Microsoft Office (PowerPoint), Figma, Sketch, XD, and a wee bit of After Effects. I also have some CMS experience (WordPress and Webflow).

I’ve been told I’m lightning fast and deadly accurate, with a meticulous mind for the minutiae, and have had the pleasure of working with some of the most talented people in the industry, including folks at:

  • Sans Serif
  • The Lacek Group
  • Periscope
  • Colle McVoy
  • Haberman
  • Curious Plot (FLM Harvest)
  • catchfire
  • Olson
  • Martin Williams
  • MOBE
  • Minnesota Public Radio
  • RBC Wealth Management
  • Minnesota Zoo
  • Hornall Anderson
  • Wunderman
  • Wells Fargo
  • HealthPartners
  • Rick Steves’ Europe
  • RedBrick Health
  • Seattle University
  • Seattle Repertory Theatre

When I’m not working, I love listening to music, playing instruments, biking, traveling, photography, creating art with watercolors and pastel chalks, and scratching cats under their chins.
