Starting as an Advertising Designer in 2017, I worked specifically on the Ad team creating direct mailers, ad campaigns and social assets based on the weekly ad.

I work on everything from print to social and digital to video and gifs to copywriting if it's needed. Considering how huge Hy-Vee has grown to be, we maintain a small group of designers so it's important for everyone to work together to be quick and efficient.
