Creativity. It’s hard to come up with new ideas and innovative designs if you don’t know how to tap into your creative resources. Figuring out ways to keep your mind sharp and your ideas fresh is a natural process for me.

Typography. Understanding how to find the right font will go a long way in design success. Fonts go beyond just fun names, a lot goes into the technical design behind each letter. I have been doing it professionally for 14 years and I always like to see that satisfaction on the customer’s face. Software. Skilled with the popular graphic design software comes from Adobe, with an entire creative suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Other software programs I can operate are QuarkXPress, Acrobat, Word and ftp environment..
