Research Development

In 2014, I was looking for a change. I needed a new direction for my career a new inspiring team to work with. It wasn’t until after finding a new job and a new team that I realized how much I needed the breath of fresh air to jumpstart my creativity and thirst for learning.

I have to be honest — if I haven’t been so already —— I had never heard of research development. Had my friend not nudged me to apply, I would have never considered it. It is a new world that uses the skills I developed in the world of design, persuasion, marketing, and communication.

Below are some specific outputs that I can show as far as graphics and document design within this time period.
