About

I have spent the last 7+ years with Grunt Style. designing graphics and working between our design team and our production team to ensure the highest quality to our customers. Before Grunt Style I worked and gained agency experience, working for different design agencies. During my time with those agencies I had worked with a variety of clients, ranging from large retailers, small businesses restaurants and non-profit organizations. Working for those clients I was able to sharpen my skills working on retail packaging, product catalogs, print collateral, billboards, print, web design, and apparel.
