OBJECTIVE: To Find a full-time career position in Graphic Design and/or Illustration. Since moving to Texas I have been doing freelance work over the past few years while I have held full-time office positions in other fields. My most recent full-time job came to an end due to the business closing. I would like to continue to do what I love to do most, and that is work in a creative environment where my skills and talent would be an asset to the company.
