During my tenure as a Graphic Designer at The News Virginian, I had the opportunity to represent our local publication in the prestigious Virginia Press Association Annual Awards. This high-impact advertisement for Brandon Ladd Apartments earned First Place in the Real Estate category, demonstrating my ability to create effective, results-driven layouts for local housing providers.
What makes this achievement particularly meaningful is the nature of the VPA competition. Entries are judged by objective media professionals from other states and organized into circulation groups to ensure fair competition among peers. This 2013 win highlights my professional longevity and my track record as a solid, dependable designer who has delivered award-winning print results for over a decade.
