About

Experienced in website design, logo creation, and photography. Proficient with both MACs and PCs. Determined team player who loves working with other creative minds. Energetic, self-motivated, and organized.

Fueled by ambition and imagination, I love to use the right side of my brain to express my creative edge and style as a graphic designer. I have a special interest in digital platforms, including logos and photography, but I also enjoy working with my hands to create art out of windows, pallets, and furniture. In the future, I hope to gain more experience with print, photography, and packaging design. I gladly welcome challenges, as each one only enhances my artistry. I bring to the table not only an array of design skills, but a positive attitude and strong leadership potential as well.
