About
I am a graphic designer who would love to work in an environment, which fosters creativity that is driven by thought and research. I enjoy working in a team environment and am excited to give my creative input. I love to see a good display of typography and am fascinated by design's history. I understand client needs and consumer appeal, and am experienced in typesetting, layouts, posters, brochures, logos, t-shirt design, package design, product development, and corporate identity.
