About
After many years in the apparel industry I am finally returning to my roots as an artist. I am pursuing telecommute opportunities in photography, graphic arts, illustration, and apparel and costume design.
I enjoy working with strong and diverse teams and mentoring interns and helping them grow into contributing members of our industry. I am presently looking for a positive and creative environment in which I can both lead and learn. I believe my enthusiasm, industry insight, creative and technical skills will be an asset to any company that espouses imagination and individuality.
Examples of my textiles, graphic art, technical illustrations, apparel and costume design, and photography are available at http://www.coroflot.com/CheleMartines/portfolio.
I am available for interviews via telephone, Skype, or in person.
