I am a creative, motivated, and energetic leader whose ability to work well on a team has contributed to a successful career in design. I have a thorough understanding of merchandising, design, product development, brand standards, and copyright.

I thrive in a fast-paced work environment, where exibility and communication are key. My employers often acknowledge that I exceed expectations, have an excellent attitude, and offer creative solutions. My passion for print and color drive me to continually
