About
I am a highly dynamic graphic designer. I believe my greatest strength is being able to wear many “hats.” I am as comfortable working on a brochure, magazine, or a powerpoint presentation as I am working on the front end of a web site's design.
I have worked closely with clients that I acquired on my own over the years as well as worked in an agency setting. Working with both I have learned the value of punctuality and flexibility. -
