About
Being a recently declared Graphic Design/Digital Media major I have had the opportunity to bridge my artistic skills from the canvas to the computer and it has been very rewarding to say the least. My newfound passions are in typography, and I guess with the entire Adobe Suite in general. My most recent coursework in typographic design brought forth very strong pieces of work that are included in my portfolio. I craft with purpose and my work leaves an impression.
I am currently seeking an internship that will allow me to bring forth a tremendous amount of hard work of exceptionally unique caliber. My attention to craft and the principles of design has always been on point. I look forward to starting a career somewhere where I can further my skill development but still have the freedom to be successful and creative while putting the skills i already have to effective use. -
Education
-
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Major: Graphic Design/Marketing/Digital Media (with Economics Minor)Valparaiso University2009 - 2014At Valparaiso University I have an individualized major in graphic design/marketing/media with a minor in economics. I am an alumni of the Iota Sigma Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Currently I am a cartoonist for The Torch, the Valparaiso University school newspaper. After a successful semester of engineering as a freshman I realized I needed to explore more fields that appealed to me. I explored french literature, business, music, and economics. Just this fall my coursework gave me experience in graphic design and typography -I have made some very strong additions to my portfolio demonstrating professional attention to principles of design.
