About
In September of 2011 I graduated from Wade College with an Associate of Arts degree in
Merchandising and Design with the concentration on Graphic Design. While in school, I developed strong
organisational and marketing skills. I completed projects involving company re branding, in which I have designed
several logos, letterheads, and business cards. I’ve designed postcards, flyers, menus, brochures, and
event posters. I’ve assisted classmates on their own personal projects. While attending Wade College I was
contributing photographer at graduation. Outside of school I’ve done artwork for several local
musicians. I’ve created movie posters for independent film producers, as well as Logos for an NFL athlete,
a logo for Xtra 21 Express trucking company as. Using wix I’ve created websites. I believe these experiences
and a lengthy work history has prepared me for any position. An Associates degree does not guarantee me a
position in the graphic design industry, however, it granted me the satisfaction of furthering my education.
Freelance work via word of mouth has helped me build a solid portfolio. Prior to attending Wade College,
I’ve maintained a solid non-graphic related work history.I was employed at Greyhound Lines for ten years with great
attendance until the department out sourced. Prior to Greyhound, I worked for Cash America pawn for five
years in which I also maintained a great attendance record. I feel I could grow to contribute to the success of
any company. Samples of my work can be seen here. http://bit.ly/n41mPH
