How did you get connected to Creatis?

I first heard of Creatis through a former colleague McKaela Grasmick Baldus. At the time she had just started at Creatis and hired me to work on a Carrot Illustration for UnitedHealth Group. The project was short lived but 10 years later it came back full circle when I was contacted by Ema Adams to work on Target's Social Team. I have to say Ema and her colleagues have shown nothing but support with my employment at Creatis. I look forward to working more with them in the future.

What are your responsibilities at Target? 

At Target I'm a Content Creator for the Social Team. I have a specialty in motion design. So I work a lot of animation and video editing projects along with design and illustration projects. I've had the opportunity to work on a number different categories across the board. The Social Team shows a lot of support and respect for what I do. And we get the chance to work on some fun projects. Recently I've had the chance to team up with a fellow content creator to do a few "Teach Me" cooking videos.

What's your favorite part of the role? 

I really enjoy the collaboration aspect of working on the Social Team at Target. Everyone is super nice, responsive and shows much respect on how much time get on a project. What I find even more inspiring is the amount of thought and care that goes into every post that's put out by Target Social. One other cool aspect was being able to meet other creatives who work on different teams at Target. I've also had the opportunity to sit in on a few seminars for social media and even had the chance to sit in on a talk with one of the directors from Pixar Studios.

Do you have advice for anyone starting a career in design/content creation or on finding inspiration? 

Always do the type of work that gets you excited everyday. To a point where you're thinking about it right before you go to bed. People see your passion and I think that makes them excited about working with you. Do tons of research on your craft and surround yourself with people who are like minded and will encourage you. It always sounds cheesy but it holds weight, never give up no matter what happens. Life will happen the way that it will and oftentimes you will feel down. But everyday you wake up is another day to make decisions. Try your best to make the decisions that will make you happy.

What are your other passions, hobbies or interests? Anything you'd like to share with the world? 

I do have my own comic book story that I want to put out in the world one day. It's a superhero based comic book that revolves around a character that can control nano technology with her mind. I try to work on it in between projects but it's slow going. Beyond that I like spending time with friends and family.
