About
I am a highly creative, seasoned designer with a technical eye for the details. I have extensive experience working with both print and digital media. Brainstorming, sketching, and storyboarding new ideas are my favorite things to do. I possess knowledge of all stages of graphic design projects from conception through production. I have a casual work style weaving humor and a light touch into my strong work ethic and professional mindset. My articulate written and verbal communication skills promote trusting relationships and solving problems. I have an adaptive, growth mindset and truly value constructive criticism. I work most efficiently with collaborative team support and quiet, focused independence.
