Profile and Resume
What can I do? How may I help! Thats my enthusiasm taking conceptual thinking and visually telling a story that sparks human emotion as one of my greatest strengths. A powerful tool would be a smiling positive attitude with creative forward-thinking and product knowledge of current design trends. Raised in Atlanta, Georgia, I have been in the southern “happiness business” for many years through my artistic craft and customer service. The simplicity of design with a little creative flair can translate to a standout visual solution filling a clients need.
I am looking to work for a fun, growing company, striving to build strong relationships with internal team members, as well as external clients while delivering sales driven results. I am an excellent collaborator, diligent, inquisitive, resourceful, and accustomed to performing in high stress, deadline driven environments. My 5 year Graphic Design background gives me strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite; In-Design, Photoshop, Illustrator and digital Photography. Using the graphic design principles to develop visual communication solutions for my audience. I am tech savvy and skilled in logo branding systems, packaging, multi-page layouts, and illustrations. I have always seen aesthetic beauty in the technical process and methodology of a project concept and the story it tells. I take assessment as an opportunity for growth and not hesitant to roll up my sleeves and contribute in areas where needed. My love for Graphic Design and supportive attitude I feel would be of great value to any company looking to fill a creative design role!
