About
I am a 2013 graduate of the Graphic Design program at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. I originally went to Drexel as a Film and Video student, but quickly realized that the classes I enjoyed and excelled at the most were in design. I have always had a passion for art, and as soon as I discovered graphic design I knew I had found a way to turn this passion into a career. I am constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to expand my capabilities as a designer. I am excited by all mediums of design, and I look forward to putting my creativity to use in the professional world.
I am currently working as a Graphic Designer at GO2 Advertising in Twinsburg, OH. Please browse through my portfolio and check out my resume if you want to know more.
