About

A creative designer with a keen eye for detail and exceptional organizational skills. I have multiple years of education and hands on experience. During this time I've had the opportunity to work in various media outlets ranging from television to advertising agencies. Creativity has always been a passion of mine and I enjoy expressing it through design and photography.
