About
Marketing, Graphic Design, and Sales. I enjoy using my artistic eye to help create something special and unique for my clients and help build awareness and satisfy a need. I have 6 years of using the Adobe Creative Suite with Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Currently I work events, design, and collaborate with clients. My most recent projects are Graphic Design and Fine Art projects.
My skills are not limited to the above either, I also prefer to work as a team and multi-task. There is no job to big that a great team cannot overcome.
Communication is key, so please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help out in any way I can. -
