I am a designer who brings years of work experience and an M.Ed. to the table. I have been a public school teacher and a program manager, so am used to handling deadlines and challenging people. I was designated head of print design within six months of starting my first graphic design job. I have done nearly every type of print design, from building banners to letterhead to multi-fold brochures with accompanying folders. I also have experience with web design and navigation planning.
