I am a designer with experience in print, type, logo, strategic, and cross-cultural design. I will be graduating from Columbus College of Art and Design in May 2010 with a B.F.A. in Industrial Design and Advertising and another in Advertising and Graphic Design. I work well with others as a team and yet can distinguish myself in a leadership role aside my peers; I am also detail-oriented and enjoy design as my newfound passion.
