Multimedia Graphic Designer

RightThisMinute

2017 - 2022

Phoenix, Arizona

I was a multimedia designer at the nationally-syndicated viral video television show RightThisMinute. I created graphics for the show, social media, promotional items, direct mail, webinars, affiliate content hubs, sales one-sheets and executive presentations.

The static and motion design packages I created for the show consisted of a yearly graphics overhaul prior to the next seasons’s launch. I also created graphics packages for eight special holiday shows each season. Each package included graphics for the open & close transitions, special segments, lower-thirds and more. In addition to creating multiple graphics packages, I also built static and motion designs for national and market-specific giveaways.

The yearly RightThisMinute graphics refresh also included a talent photoshoot where I worked with a photographer to achieve the desired shots which I then retouched and composited for use across all mediums.

I worked directly with the sales team to design print and digital marketing collateral for company partners & executives to sell and expand RightThisMinute into new markets. This collateral generally included one-sheets and presentation decks. I also designed the yearly RightThisMinute Webinar for affiliates and stations carrying the show.

I built and maintained the affiliate relations website. I also designed graphics for the video content hub used internally and by affiliates. Finally, I created designs for social media and internal graphics including holiday cards, t-shirts, posters and more.

RightThisMinute was cancelled on April 29, 2022.

I maintained and traveled with government aircraft supporting military missions across Africa and Western Europe in this position. This role required me to perform incredibly complex inspections before, after and during flight to uphold safety and military readiness.

When an issue arose at home base or in another location, I worked with my team to resolve it as quickly and as safely as possible. I had to think quickly and efficiently, often in third world locations, to solve issues related to aircraft maintenance and documentation. This required an incredible amount of patience and concentration.

This included launching and catching the aircraft on their daily missions, performing highly-detailed and precise inspections on each system and maintaining maintenance records and documentation with the utmost of detail.

Over the course of my enlistment I had trained 10 new Airmen to follow in my path.
