HELLO, AND WELCOME TO MY PAGE!
Profile
I have always had a passion for art and design, and as a kid I would draw in all the empty spaces of my homework. Since then, I have followed that creative flare as a fun graphic designer, who sees that everything is design, and everything is effected by it. It's all around us. I'm always updating my skill sets, and looking for ways to improve and challenge myself. With that, I have a very broad range of style that can cater to any need or preference.
Experience
I have been a professional designer for over 16 years. Most of which has been in the printing industry. Over the years I have strengthened my expertise in many forms of creative communication, making me very well-rounded. Some of the many projects include marketing/advertising, visual identities, trade shows, brochures, direct mail, signs & banners, and invitations.

Philosophy
I believe that the best work starts with asking the right questions, then combines actionable insights with imagination, to make their business goals come true. The art of design is a creative process to solve a problem, and to fill a need for the people that will ultimately interact with it. It's not a one-size-fits-all process, nor is there a steadfast rule for coming to the best solution. Great designers don't just think about what it looks like, but how and why it works.
