I'm looking for a position that will allow me to work remotely, improve my skills and supplement my current income. Due to some health issues, I was disabled for many years and unable to work. A few years ago, I regained my health to a degree and began learning Photoshop and how to open and manage a digital image business. I created, and still operate, websites and social media accounts. I continue to design graphics and sell them as a standalone product on various sites and also use the images to create signs, mugs, tumblers, tee shirts and more. I offer custom work including logos, business materials, package inserts and social media packages for businesses. I'm eager to learn more and continue taking courses and classes to improve my craft. Being a business owner, I deal with general administration, accounting and customer service on a daily basis.
