SUMMARY

I am a graphic designer with 7+ years of experience in pre-media. I love paying attention to details when working with typography, layout and composition, color theory, grid systems and use of photography; I strongly believe this is what can make or break a design. I enjoy working in a team environment as well as independently. I’ve also been successful working in a high volume and fast paced environments where I designed in-store flyers, direct mail, brochures, and other print collateral with the ability to prioritize daily tasks.
