Hello. My name is Kimberly Hood, and this is a portfolio site for my various interests. I am currently employed by the UT Research Foundation where I handle the bulk of their graphic design needs, aid in marketing efforts & manage the UTRF website. I also do part time web design work for Internet Communications in the UT Athletic Department (utsports.com | utladyvols.com).

I attended the University of Tennessee at Martin from 2004 - 2006 where I was a member of their Div. I soccer team, University Honors program, and a Visual Communications major. In the fall of 2006 I transferred to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where I was  the editorial design director of Scoop Magazine for two semesters and graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Journalism and Electronic Media in 2008. After graduation I completed a six month apprenticeship with Doublejay Creative, a Knoxville-based visual media company, where I furthered my graphic design abilities. Upon the completion of my apprenticeship, I began covering sports & managing the website for a small local paper and later took the job I currently hold managing the Business Incubator and doing graphic design and marketing for the UT Research Foundation.  

In addition to graphic design, I also enjoy journalism and photography and hope to one day obtain a position that allows me to utilize my entire skill set.
