Experience Summary
18 years of graphic design experience and still loving it to this day. I graduated from the Art Institute back in 1996 and I've had 5 jobs since then.
I understand the demands of clients when creativity is needed and revisions that come with change. I always put my best abilities on the table no matter how small or large the project or compensation.
As the sole designer for MRI, I dealt with all the printers regarding quotes and setting up files for final completion. I was in contact with all directors/supervisors for each of the eight different restaurant chains and managed all design material from start to finish. I’ve created all forms of print collateral using the latest Adobe programs as well as QuarkXpress and need little to no guidance completing projects.

In middle school and high school, I was on the drumline and played the snare. Now 20+ years later, my son is playing percussion in middle school and is doing well like his ol' man!
