Baking in northern, winter nights taught me a designer’s most valuable traits: listening, crafting a story, speaking frankly, minding the details, and ditching the recipe in favor of making something better (as necessary). This is why I baked Grandma Ray’s sugar cookies and created a self-promotion around them. I hand-build experiences, and this care package embodies the values that I hold dear.2016 Winner: Gold Award in the Advertising Industry Self-Promotion Direct Marketing category in the local American Advertising Federation competition.
