I am a well-versed graphic designer with experience in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments. Branding, logo, and print design is my expertise, but I also take on web and digital projects. I truly love and enjoy what I do! Having the gift and skill to bring someone's idea to life is what drives me. Besides expressing myself creatively, I live for those moments when my clients show how excited they are about the work I have completed for them.
Below are my expertise and technical skills, work experience, and educational background.
