Biotium's sole designer & de facto creative director, brand manager, and video production lead, owning and elevating the company’s visual identity across all channels.

 

With minimal lead-generation infrastructure in place, I designed and implemented landing pages and CTA pop-ups in collaboration with our content team, resulting in an 85.31% increase in captured leads from 2023 to 2024 (from 742 to 1,375). My work encompasses brand development, print and digital marketing, presentations, explainer videos, and motion graphics, delivering cohesive, strategic designs that drive engagement and support business growth.

As Marketing Coordinator, I spearheaded a full company rebrand, creating a new logo and rolling it out across all digital and physical touchpoints. I led multiple website revamps, ensuring consistent branding while aligning with industry best practices. I also developed, tested, and launched lead-capturing campaigns to drive engagement and managed the design, formatting, and deployment of 200+ marketing emails through SharpSpring and HubSpot.

My first role out of college and the start of my career at Biotium. As one of just two people on the marketing team, I wore many hats—designing digital and print assets, managing campaigns, updating web content, and building our email automation system. I also supported social media, event prep, and product photography, gaining broad, hands-on experience that shaped my path as a visual designer.
