I am a highly motivated self-starter with over fourteen years of experience as a graphic designer. I’m a very articulate, creative thinker, a great multitasker, I have a fine eye for detail, and misuse of fonts and kerning drives me insane! I am very deadline-driven and am able to manage my time well when I have several projects needing my attention. I’m looking for an opportunity to prove myself in a new position with an agency, where my skills, work ethic and mindset will be valuable.
I graduated from Southwest University of Visual Arts (formerly The Art Center) in May 2009, with an Associate Degree in Visual Communications, only 10 courses shy of obtaining my bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. Because I had two young children at home, I made the decision to cut my degree short and enter the work force to gain experience, and to contribute to my family’s income.
I am well rounded in many facets of graphic design, with much experience in logo design, flyers, posters and postcards, and I love to design custom invitations! I am extremely proficient with Adobe Creative Suite, with most of my experience in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Lightroom. I am experienced in After Effects and Adobe Dimension, and I am a quick learner, currently teaching myself XD. I understand the basic HTML language and have designed several websites through template sites like Weebly and NicePage, and also helped to launch the e-commerce site with my previous employer, through a point of sale system, called Lightspeed. I am a whiz on a Mac and am proficient with the Microsoft office and Mac alternate programs.
My most recent work experience was with a marketing agency, Elafant, where I was responsible for daily social media posts, postcards and mailers, flyers and print ads, and new commercial listing catalogs for a large Southern California Real Estate firm. Through Elafant I also had other tasks such as copy editing, formatting, designing and paginating books.
I currently employ myself with my freelance design company, where I offer many creative services, from start-up business naming and branding, logo design, flyers and postcards, custom folders, business cards, and custom invitation design and printing.
