I am a graphic designer. Of this I have no question. I love Design. Whether that be in Print, Web, Marketing, or creating Campaigns- I love it. There is a very special joy I get when brining a project to its finish. Have you experienced that? Satisfaction, happiness, and to be super honest, a little moment of relaxation especially when a job has been a difficult one. Designers are always growing, always changing, always learning. Every year my goal is to acquire a new skill or two. This year there was time now. Expanding further into adobe creative cloud; I was able to go into Premiere and make videos, and my favorite Adobe CC program inDesign, I was able to learn many of the new tools and maybe some old ones too. I have branched out further into illustrating, project management and teaching. It’s been fun.
I adore campaign design and Implementation- there is something very special starting with a small idea and watch it spiral into a life of its own. The concept art, copy and message all used in many different applications and tied in a lovely package. With this in mind I-have skills in art direction, collaborating with photographers on day to day needs as well as photo shoots, meeting client needs and concerns, package design, website design, community collaborative projects, typography, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma, Adobe XD, Photography, Pen, Ink, Painting, Printmaking, and other illustrative techniques. Most recently I have been exploring UI/UX design. I have an intense need to travel and do so at any given opportunity. Because of this my outlook on life has changed and broadened. I also excel at drinking copious amounts of coffee.
