Graphic Design is one of my top subjects! I am a highly creative and skilled graphic designer, illustrator, and web designer with great studio management skills who thrives in the media and advertising sectors. I have extensive graphic design knowledge, and I am a locally-published web designer who brings exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm to every design process and project. I am a designer successful at experimenting with new approaches, techniques, and software. I thrive under pressure and I am inspired by an artistic challenge. I have an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Communication (Graphic Design) as well as a Certificate of Proficiency in Graphic Design. I have been working as a designer for 6 years and have been employed at Tyler Junior College as their Graphic Designer in their Marketing and Digital Media department for the last two years. I am currently enrolled as a student at Texas State University and pursuing a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Communication Design.
I am proficient in many Adobe Creative Suite software programs to generate high quality images and web pages.
The software that I am proficient with are: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, Muse, Lightroom, and more.
