About
I am a hard-working, enthusiastic designer with over fifteen years of professional experience in my field. I have designed collateral for communications and promotional campaigns, as well as brochures, business cards, large scale graphics, various products, magnets, stickers, cards, scrapbooking papers, journals, planners, and websites. I am experienced with PC & Mac platforms. I have advanced knowledge of design software including Adobe Creative Cloud (Dreamweaver, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator), QuarkXPress, FreeHand, and Microsoft Office, as well as experience with CSS and HTML. I absolutely love spending my time creating and working on design projects. Lately, I have been expanding my skill set and learning After Effects.
