Meanwhile… at the full-time job

My life circumstances changed at the end of 2020 – like so many of us– and by early 2022, with the rising cost of living, I decided to take on a full time job to make ends meet. My new clients have included Aetna Medicare, The Hershey Company, and a variety of trade groups and associations. (Examples can be seen below. All layout and design by me!)

Adobe Animate Experiments

I graduated with a degree in Illustration in 1992 then quickly took a detour into desktop publishing and the graphic design field. (Trust me, I’m not complaining; it has definitely paid the bills.) But there’s still this nagging part of me that would love to work at Pixar! lol

So when my boss suggested that I develop animated covers for some of the publications we produce, I was totally onboard. It seemed like a great way to hone new skills and get on-the-job training!

Below are the prototypes I produced for Tax Executive Institute using Adobe Animate. I found the process to be hugely addictive and I can’t wait to make more!
