Zabel
I’ve been in the design game for 4+ years. I currently work in-house as a design ninja for everything advertising, branding, and podcast production in the health industry. I recently relocated to Utah from California, where I worked at an alternative weekly newspaper designing lots of cool publications and ads. I have worked with clients like AARP, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Habitat for Humanity, and various state agencies. I am an innovative team player and enjoy collaborating across departments.
When I’m not creating things, I like to strap a board to my feet and slide through the snow. If there is no snow around, ill slide across the pavement or walk or something.
