What can I do for you?
I am dedicated hard worker, always looking to provide only the best quality design work. That's exactly what I have done on countless custom websites and design projects. I believe that it is always worth the extra effort to take a design project to that extra level, beyond what the client is expecting. Never settle for less.
Years experience
Completed projects
I pride myself in my ability to research and learn whatever it takes to do an excellent job... even if that means burning the midnight oil. You can never learn too much and each new skill can help benefit the next project!
I have always been a self-teacher, from learning how to airbrush to developing webpages in HTML. I started learning about the latter at the age of 12, when I built my first custom website from scratch after reading several books on HTML. As an artistic person since I was a small child, I began to build a bigger understanding of graphic design, aesthetics and user experience.
Since then, I have become an experienced user of all types of software, especially Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have been a part of design and marketing projects for some amazing organizations, companies and clients. After working on more than 350 web design, graphic design and print design projects, I have discovered that every project is unique and each presents it own challenges when you are trying to create amazing work and exceed expectations. I am always committed to finding a way to achieve my desired result, even if that means additional hours of research and learning in the middle of the project. When you see the end result, it always seems worth it.
Here, you will see some of the skills I have developed over the last 15+ years.
