I thrive in a collaborative environment where my infectious positive attitude has been known to boost team morale while providing focused effort and originality in design.

I have also developed effective marketing presentations that have attracted new clients and resulted in booming new business growth over the last year. I have interviewed, hired, mentored and trained junior designers as well as implemented quality control. Highly proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite.
