About.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from College for Creative Studies and I have two and a half years of professional
experience in Graphic Design. I have worked with various types of clients from Fortune 500 to local non-profit, and
love working with other eager team members. I am passionate, motivated, and I have many skills that I would love
to use and refine within a professional setting.

I am beyond detail oriented and enjoy being involved in every portion of the design process, from concept to produc-
tion. I am currently searching for a career that allows me to grow as a designer, and encourages me to be as creative
as possible.
