About
I am a passionate, driven, and productive artist. I am versatile and have skills ranging from illustration, visual merchandising, print, digital, photography, and graphic design. I have owned and operated my own business and it was only through my education in graphic design that I was able to be a success in my area. In the past as an administrative assistant I’ve used these skills for improvements throughout each ministry at Jacobstown Baptist Church. Recently I was retail supervisor and my passions have been exhibited in visual merchandising, something that I am exploring and enjoy with the help of many fellow retailers at Six Flags. At Kids First Swim School, I was able to reorganize paperwork with new designs and created posters for different events we were hosting. I thoroughly enjoy my work and I hope to continue along this path of graphic design full-time in the near future.
