Graphic Designer
Hello & thanks for visiting! My name is Jean and I've been in the design field since 2004, but creating and loving the arts as long as I can remember. After receiving a BFA in graphic design, I've learned and worked with many great artists in molding myself into being very well-rounded designer. I've dabbled in different areas of design, pushing the envelope when I can, and hope continue to cultivate my mind in all that I can to keep things fresh--and have fun while doing it :)
