GRAYSON MUELLER
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
In my career, I have been lucky enough to work with motivated teams that expected the best from themselves and achieved success. At Allied Air, I created design assets that drove marketing initiatives and helped the company to grow year over year. I joined GT-Lite during a pivotal product launch with our largest customer. I developed packaging, created technical documents, shot product photography, and created installation videos for customers for 9 new products within my first few months. While at Allied Air and GT-Lite, I have had the pleasure of getting to mentor junior designers. The first designer I mentored first started as an intern at Allied Air and landed the full-time job as the junior designer. Now at GT-Lite I mentor my in-house designer as well as oversee any work created by any freelancers. My favorite part of my job is being able to show a designer a new way to save time or a new tool to use that I think they might enjoy.
