PSA: I'm officially open to new roles in creative marketing. My background is in graphic design, and while I'd love to stay in the marketing communications space, I'm open to new directions where my skills can make an impact. I have experience across print and digital marketing, logo design, merch, and apparel.
I've worked in both design and project management, so I'm comfortable jumping in with agency teams or internal teams that need support keeping projects on track and creative work looking sharp. I’m looking for Visual Designer, Graphic Designer, Digital Designer, and Senior Graphic Designer roles. Also open to roles in project management.

What’s up world? I’m Liv Varney (she/they), it’s great to meet you.

I’m a visual designer based in New Hampshire. For the last five and a half years, I’ve spent most of my time working in higher education marketing while also pouring creative energy into other projects that help sharpen my skills. When I’m not focused on university work, I’m designing or printing t-shirts for my brand, Young Fellow Clothing, along with taking on the occasional freelance project.

I studied at two small schools to earn my degree. I started with a year and a half at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire, then took a semester off before transferring to Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts.

Not long after finishing school, I joined Puma as a junior designer for their internal creative agency. I helped develop digital and printed retail displays for the footwear company’s promotional efforts. These retail environments featured footwear and apparel shops that reflected music industry styles and brand ambassador trends. The experience taught me the basics of how a design agency functions along with standard processes for supporting and promoting a brand.

When my time at Puma came to an end, I explored new areas and discovered that user experience and digital product design were skills worth developing. I was fortunate to work with designers at Mad*Pow (now BORN XDS) for nine months. I helped build a product that streamlines access to well-known prescription drugs for customers and allows patients to communicate with their providers. The product went through several launches, with features added along the way to create a fully functional tool. I worked on designing how the application would look and feel for patients and providers using it.

I completed the RedBull Wingfinder Assessment. Below are the results of the assessment divided into categories.

Liv is described as Emotive, showing deep care and passion for her work. This strength shines through in her dedication, involvement, and self-reflection. She is recognized for being sensitive and genuinely invested in her work, though at times her intense passion might feel overwhelming. In relationships, Liv is adaptable. She is comfortable networking and influencing, and also thrives independently where she can take initiative.

She is also highly Confident and driven to lead and tackle challenges. Liv naturally steps into the spotlight, presenting herself as capable and self-assured. While this confidence helps her take on tough situations and aim high, it can also result in setting very high expectations for herself and others. Combined with her Achiever mindset, Liv channels enthusiasm and ambition toward making meaningful impacts. This drive may at times overshadow those who are less competitive.

Finally, Liv’s Disciplined nature ensures she approaches work with precision and reliability. She is consistent, detail-oriented, and thrives on structured tasks. This perfectionism helps her deliver high-quality work, but she may feel frustrated in environments that lack clear plans or organization. Overall, Liv is motivated by excellence, competition, and earning respect through her achievement.

“Liv’s Wingfinder report highlights across four key areas: Connections, Creativity, Drive, and Thinking.”

In Connections, Liv is comfortable networking, supporting colleagues, and working independently. She communicates directly but respectfully, shows genuine care for her work, and enjoys social interactions. In Creativity, Liv balances originality with practicality. She adapts well to change, enjoys exploring new ideas, and values solutions that are both innovative and sensible.

In the area of Drive, Liv is described as confident, ambitious, and highly disciplined. She takes pride in leading, tackling challenges, and maintaining high standards in her work. Her natural competitiveness and enthusiasm help her strive for meaningful achievements. Although she excels at staying organized and detail-focused, she benefits from remembering that perfection is not always required and that flexibility can enhance productivity.

Finally, Liv’s Thinking style combines intuition with logical reasoning. She draws on both experience and analysis to solve problems and is comfortable using a blend of instinct and objectivity. The report suggests that Liv’s growth comes from building on these strengths while staying mindful of moments when passion, ambition, or discipline might need to be balanced with flexibility and openness to others’ input.
