Graphic Design & Web Content Management: KESS InHouse
From September 2016 to April 2017, I worked as a Graphic Designer and Web Content Manager for KESS InHouse, located in Oceanside, CA. At KESS InHouse, we curate artwork, then print the artwork on a variety of home goods and sell these goods on our website as well as other outlets such as amazon.com and wayfair.com.
As a Graphic Designer, I assisted the Senior Graphic Designer in keeping a cohesive brand identity through a variety of graphics for packaging design, web design, catalog design, or any other promotional graphics needed both on and offline. In this collaborative environment, I worked from problem to solution efficiently and creatively, using advanced skills in Illustrator, Photoshop, and Lightroom.
As a Web Content Manager, I assisted the Senior Web Content Manager in managing product listings and web pages. This included creating product listings through the back end of Shopify, as well as creating and editing HTML pages. Web content management requires precision and accuracy to ensure that prices, inventory, and other information on the site is accurate for our customers.
One of the largest projects I did at KESS InHouse was a revamp of the existing product catalog. This included creating and editing lifestyle images, choosing relevant, trending, and interesting designs to showcase the variety of prints and products we sell, and keeping an overall cohesive design that was clear and understandable. The full KESS InHouse 2017 Catalog can be found here.
