Summary
Design is communicating. Great design communicates to the viewer a variety of things that can increase the profitability of a company. I am passionate about creating dynamic designs that solve the problems of communication to customers and clients. Creativity coupled with expert design and software knowledge is what sets me apart from others. Detail oriented, dependable, focused, hardworking, and being a team player are all attributes that have been used to describe me by employers, colleagues and friends. I am looking to connect with others who share the idea that exceptional graphic design can add branding value to a company and change the world.
