Complete creative authority over all print and web design covering the entire Denver Parks and Recreation system. Responsible for production of all content and, in some cases, implementation of the material in the field.

Some of the highlights:
*I successfully branded the agency by bringing the three major areas together, Parks, Natural Areas and Recreation under a common visual solution.

*Supported park planners with public meetings, presentation and web site postings. Many projects required extensive public input through web surveys, email notifications and powerpoint presentations.

*On the recreation side, I brought all Denver recreation centers under one common catalog of classes, something that was not previously done. Along with the marketing specialists, I created a market brand that tied the recreation centers as a unified system that is able to compete with private health clubs.

*I updated the urban and mountain parks with environmental, educational, and instructional sign
