About
High-energy graphic design professional with a passion to listen, understand, and visually
translate a message into a clear, creative design through a wealth of integrated tactics.
I am looking to further my career and expand my knowledge and skill sets with a company who's culture fits my work hard / play hard, work/life balance philosophy. I am looking for a company that makes a difference in the world, that I can be a part of. You will find me to be a fun, friendly, honest, hardworking, individual who is able to perform responsibilities with solid technical abilities, collaborate with team members and clients with confidence, excellent communication skills, and a genuine personality. I am flexible and (I’ve been told) easy to work with. I have a good eye for design and a great sense of humor.
I'd love to see if I would make a good fit on your team! Check out my work and contact me to make your own judgement of me in person! -
