QUALIFICATION SUMMARY

I’m a graphic designer with almost ten years of hands-on education and experience.

My journey in graphics started at the High School of Art & Design. In my junior year,

I started to experiment with Photoshop and along the way I started to become familiar

with other software such as Quark Xpress and Illustrator. Over the years, I have

learned new software and adapted myself to the newer versions of software that I

have already become proficient in. Today, I can proudly say that I have taken my

knowledge and used it in the realms of printing design, web design, corporate

identities, collateral and publications.
