I'm a graphic designer from the Morristown, NJ area. Whether they’re covered in ink and paint, little burns from my pyrography pen or creating in Illustrator & Photoshop, my hands are always busy creating. Art is my lifestyle. Heavily influenced by my favorite artists, books and rock & roll; I find joy in the process of creating. I live for working with my clients, co-creating and storytelling through design. On any given day, you can catch me handcrafting home decor, baking with my kids, creating custom pieces for my Etsy shop, hiking and exploring the world's many great museums, as well as drawing inspiration from every part of my life. I was the kid daydreaming and doodling in school and now I’m so grateful I get to live my dream as an artist making the world a more beautiful place than I found it. --- Keri Schleier Designs - Graphic Designer New Jersey • 01/2021 - Current • Brought client's story to life with impactful design and imagery, impacting the marketing initiative and steering the projects forward on budget, on time and on scope • Developed creative design for print materials, brochures, banners, e-mail blasts, book covers, and signs. • Created digital image files for use via digital and traditional printing methods. • Researched trends and projected industry changes to capitalize on emerging opportunities. • Implemented design feedback from customers and internal stakeholders to improve project outcomes. • Utilized typography techniques to create compelling designs.
