I've spent over eight years gaining experience as a student, freelancer and full-time graphic designer while developing invaluable knowledge, technical skills and a passion for the industry. I am constantly striving to become a better artist and I'm just getting warmed up.
As graphic designers, our jobs are ever-changing just like the tools we use. I take pride in being able to adapt and evolve with the project. I can jump easily from being a designer, to marketing, to illustration, to art directing. This trait can also be seen in my design work. While my focus is in print, branding and identity design, I am confident I can handle any task I'm given. I love the challenge of being faced with something new.
Designers are fueled by creativity, experimentation, inspiration and caffeine. And I'm no different. I thrive in a fast-paced, deadline oriented environment, having the ability to take on multiple projects at once and still meet those deadlines. Each project is a blank canvas, an opportunity for me to create something unique for that client. I have the drive to learn new skills and constantly improve on the ones I already have.
"Our real discoveries come from chaos, from going to the place that looks wrong
and stupid and foolish." -- Chuck Palahniuk
