I worked at the North American division of Ajinomoto, a Japan-based global company, for four years. I worked with various business units within the company to create packaging, marketing materials, trade show booth designs, sell sheets, internal announcements, PowerPoint presentations, branding guidelines, t-shirts, cake designs, holiday cards, event decorations, and email blasts. Ajinomoto makes amino acids, food ingredients, cosmetics, sports nutrition supplements, animal feed, and IV bag contents, and I was able to use my science background to create concepts and materials in both Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer applications.
