2009 Educational Catalog

The Society for Human Resource’s (SHRM) new Education Programs Catalog that debuted at their Annual Conference in June 2009.

Err…well… not entirely. Much to all of our dismay, this photo got axed at the top of the food chain but our little HR Superman is just too fun not to see the light of day.

Introductions

No kid off the street, I have a BFA in Graphic Design and over 5 years experience with print and web design including 2 years of full-time freelancing from the Boston area (Somerville). I am full of creative solutions, easy to work with, and know a bunch of tricks to keep projects in (and under) budget. But the proof is in the pudding so please peruse my polished portfolio.

The Good Word

Kristen’s designs – from ads and brochures to exposition graphics packages – have continued to be innovative and contemporary. She always presents multiple comps, pays close attention to detail, works within deadlines and budgets, and provides thoughtful input to ensure client satisfaction. I continue to hire her because she is a pleasure to work with and I know that I’ll always be pleased with the final results.

- Lisa Diener (Director, Membership Marketing, Society for Human Resource Management)
