2022 - Present: Quest Food
As Senior Graphic Designer at Quest Food Management Services, I lead the creation of engaging visual communications that bring the company’s brand to life. My work spans a wide range of print and digital projects, including websites, interior environments, menu boards, marketing collateral, in-unit displays, and logos. I also design branded proposal templates and review RFPs to ensure all materials are accurate, polished, and print-ready.
From concept to execution, I manage every stage of the design process with attention to detail and efficiency, delivering high-quality solutions that strengthen brand presence. My expertise supports a diverse client base: including K-12 schools, colleges, and corporate partners, helping each connect with their audiences through clear, creative, and consistent design.
I designed a vibrant series of fruit and vegetable graphics for school cafeterias, using bold colors, playful illustrations, and clear messaging to make healthy eating approachable for students. The collection highlights nutritional benefits, features engaging “fresh facts,” and introduces simple recipe ideas to spark curiosity about everyday foods. To ensure consistency, I integrated the brand’s identity across all elements, creating a cohesive system of posters, decals, and static clings that brighten cafeteria spaces while reinforcing Quest’s commitment to wellness and healthy habits in schools.
