About Me

I am a bit of a jack-of-all trades but have mastered many. I excel at Graphic Design, Illustration, Print Media, Social Media & Web Design, (as well as Copywriting) and have also developed skills in App Design & Wordpress. My main passion is Graphic Design. I love to create and bring the client's ideas to life. I have been in Customer Service and sales, and therefore I have a lot of experience with keeping clients happy along the way. I also have over five years of experience with managing my own graphic design & marketing company, so I know how to meet deadlines, and manage myself as well as others.

I'm a hard working people person, and I know how to get you exactly what you want, and possibly even what you didn't know you wanted. I love building morale, and being a team player. I know how to be a self-motivator and can work independently. I am teachable and always looking to learn more, and stay current in an ever-changing field. I endeavor to be the absolute best that I can be, no matter the circumstance.
