Trajectory
May 2014 — Aug 2014
Graphic Designer · Vail Resorts
I was fortunate to take this contract position with Vail and was able to work on some great projects with a great marketing team.
I did work for Vail Resorts Retail (fka - SSV/Specialty Sports Venture) which includes brands such as Vail, Beaver Creek and Telluride Sports, Colorado Ski & Golf, Any Mountain, Boulder SKi Deals, Bicycle Village and more.
We primarily worked on print and collateral, but also did landing pages, e-blast, web banners and more digital as well.
I truly enjoyed my time at Vail and hope to return in the future should the need arise.
