About
I am a dedicated worker, with a strong sense of design and a willingness to commit my full attention to achieving the goal.
I am never finished learning my trade, and I'm always looking to evolve it to remain competitive. Graphic design does not end with a knowledge of the software, but requires an ever evolving view of what the world sees as art and as visually pleasing, and I am always trying to maintain my awareness of what will work best for a client.
In addition to having training in design, I also possess a strong interest in biology and the technology that develops by studying it. I have a strong sense of empathy for animals, which has led me to volunteer with The Florida Aquarium, and go through a vigorous training program, to provide my services where I can. By being surrounded by the animals in the aquarium, I hope to evolve my understanding of their behavior and use it to further evolve what I am capable of providing in my professional career. -
