about me
about me
- designer/color expert/world traveler/adventure seeker/runner/rider
- I'm inspired through experiences and by the places I have visited. The different cultures I've experienced and the unique people I have interacted with combine with my own personal background make me a well-balanced designer. I meld all of these experiences into my take on design—At times, I equate design to food—it can be interpreted and reconstructed in different ways, but sometimes the execution, presentation, and passion make the experience unique.
  
  Having worked in a variety of industries, my design esthetic and skills are versatile. I've created brochures, business cards, ads, logos, exhibit booths, videos, and executed full, redesigned websites. I know the ins and outs of design—starting from the brainstorming of ideas on paper, to pre-press, print color separations, and wireframes, mockups and HTML/CSS coding—to finishing complete projects as a dynamic publication or website.
  
  I have held a myriad of jobs since entering the workforce at a young age: cashier, retail sales, art teacher, photography instructor, and outdoor skills/fire builder. These experiences have taught invaluable skills including the ability to think on my feet, make decisions, and communicate effectively with peers and customers.
  
  This site includes my resume and online portfolio that display my brilliant foundation in design and skills. I look forward to meeting to discuss opportunities within your organization, or personal projects that may need inspiration.
