Employ was formed after K1 Investment Management acquired JazzHR, Lever, Jobvite and NXTThing RPO.

As the senior designer, I collaborated with cross-functional teams to create many new customer-facing digital properties and marketing components that helped to stabilize, expand, and differentiate the new brand. JazzHR was acquired by K1 Investment Management in April of 2021. -
