About
Hi! My name is Maritza Lopez and I LOVE graphic design. I have a true passion for creative, outside-of-the-box, whimsical and fun designs that reflect pretty things that make people look twice. My other passions are theater, animals, music, traveling, photography, writing and reading. Have taken classes in professional photography although I have been the events photographer for my current job for the past 8 years. I love challenges and constantly learning new things. I am fluent, both oral and written, in English and Spanish and love deadlines. Really! I also enjoy Social Media. Take a look around.....I'd love to hear from you! :)
Experienced in:
• Print
• Digital
• UX/UI
• Basic HTML
• Photography
Oh, yeah....I also have a good, old-fashioned "print" portfolio to demonstrate. :) -
