Thanks for taking the time to look at my information! I graduated from Randolph Community College's Advertising and Graphic Design Curriculum where I obtained my Associates Degree in December of 2007. I am seeking employment in the area of graphic design and I'm interested in anything that's available. Freelance work is something I would love to acquire as well as a permanent position within an agency or in-house design department.
Among my assorted interests and pastimes, I enjoy reading various genres of material. I consistently seek to expand my conceptual abilities as a designer.
I love writing, which I do often.
