Summary
With freelance, studio and in-house experience, I'm a well rounded designer who understands the complexities involved in taking a project from concept to a refined finished product, and working with clients and/or co-workers along the way.
I'm a thoughtful, honest and loyal worker looking for a chance to establish relationships, improve my skill set and have new experiences with an in-house position.
At the heart of my design process is my ability to produce or understand and work with visual identities and brand guidelines. Each project, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant or large and complex, starts from those foundational identities and guidelines. And from there, the designs can be successful and the brand can grow and expand organically.
