I love being a graphic designer—it shows in my work and my files. I’ve had a diverse career (almost 20 years and counting!) creating magazines, acclaimed books, event materials from trade show banners to gala invitations, educational materials, FDA-approved product packaging, and custom signage in the Texas Medical Center and the Greenspoint District in north Houston. And of course all while maintaining budgets and working directly with vendors for quotes, options, press checks, every step from concept through delivery. • Adept with software programs, specifically Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Office Suite with skills in Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, XD, QuarkXPress, Word, and PowerPoint• I am a strategic thinker proactive with ideas/opportunities, solving problems, and making decisions in situations with several options• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills including proofreading/editing capabilities and the ability to develop and organize a library of reference materials.• Energetic, enthusiastic and people-oriented, I enjoy working with different personalities and can adapt/accommodate to others' working styles• Service-oriented and responsive while working well under crazy deadlines—personal time management is my secret to success
