Desarae’s favorite candy

Lindt German Chocolate. (In fact, while traveling in Europe, Desarae did her best to buy out the entire Lindt factory in Aachen Germany.) She also loves turtle cheese cake, and has an addiction to Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream.

You’d never know it to look at me, but..

“I was in the Army Reserves (MOS 96B which is Military Intelligence.) From there, I transferred to Air Force ROTC to become a fighter pilot and took part in Civil Air Patrol Flights, as well as the non-military Top Gun program (no sign of Tom Cruise.) I’m just 20 hours short of my private pilot’s license and need an internship to get my Air Frame and Power plant Mechanics license. Oh yeah, I’ve also participated in pageants, cheerleading, competitive dance competitions, extreme sports and am a proud alumnus of Delta, Delta, Delta.”

Fast Tracker

Desarae graduated with her Associates Degree in Science three weeks before her high school graduation. She then completed a six-year bachelor’s degree at one of the nation’s top 10 design schools in just three years.

Self-starter

Desarae started a freelance business at the age of just 17 doing demonstration sales, graphic design and modeling for companies like Procter & Gamble, Pepsi, and Bacardi. She was picked up by two promotional agencies almost immediately and soon became one of Us Marketing and Promotion’s top 10 promotional sales representatives ñ meaning her store’s inventory sold out nine times out of 10.

Corporate Climber

After just a week as an account executive at MyFreeEstimates.com, an Internet-based company that connects homeowners to contractors, Desarae was offered a design position and then advanced to Creative Director. As such, she was responsible for managing over 110 affiliate campaigns, along with coding development, search engine marketing, print design, identity packaging and more. She also built over 500 Web pages and started the first internship program for MFE, as well as set up their first print/audio campaigns.

Agency Couture

Desarae now resides at Agency Couture as an Interactive Marketing Strategist and Designer. She happily spends her days leveraging social media for her clients and improving their website’s seo capabilities. Agency Couture is a quaint Minneapolis based web design, marketing, and development firm that specializes in offering their clients custom solutions for their sites along with video and marketing solutions.

Testimonials

“Desarae was fresh out of college when we had her come join our team. She was hired out of a large pool of applicants because of her passion and desire to work in the business and learn from the team around her. She was more than willing to pitch in on anything and amazed me at her ability to fit in at all levels of the business. Her energy was second to none.” November 6, 2007
