[Objective]

To find a career and a work environment where my creativity and knowledge

will be utilized to generate graphically dynamic designs. To find a

workplace where I will be challenged and encouraged to learn new things

through teamwork, effort, and dedication.

[About Me]

I am creative, eager, and quirky. I have a passion for typography, using

text in ways other designers may not have thought of. I enjoy collaborating

and working closely with clients and/or coworkers on projects, and I take

pride in seeing projects through to the end. My education provided me with

a working knowledge and skill set for a variety of artistic endeavors:

printmaking, bookmaking, painting, drawing, ceramics, typography, and

conceptual design. My professional career has helped to teach me about

overcoming any obstacles that may appear and to have the perseverance to

reach the end result desired.

[Technical Knowledge]

Both PC and Mac Platforms

Software: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat (with access to

other CS4 programs), Microsoft Office 2007, Quark, Multi Ad Creator, and

several work flow/organizational programs.

I am a very quick study when it comes to software programs, I enjoy

learning and am eager to continue to learn more throughout my career. I

enjoy encountering something I may not understand and doing the research

and learning required to solve the problem or use the program.
