PROFILE:
I am a creative and motivated individual who has
been into art since I first picked up a crayon. I love
to express my creativity but am able to follow strict
guidelines if need be. I''m capable of working
creatively and effectively in a group, or I would love
the chance to show my ability as a leader, but
either way, I''ll be excited to put my input into a
fresh new design. I especially love a good challenge,
one that makes me take a step back and
change the way I look at a project in order to
accomplish the task by the assigned deadline.
Designing is something I love to do, it''s not just a
job for me.
