I graduated with Associate of Science in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh College. While pursuing my degree and as a freelance designer, I gained invaluable experience in illustration and designing marketing materials, such as logos, posters, advertisements, and websites. I have extensive experience with the Adobe CS6 Creative Suite, including Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. This includes extensive knowledge of typography, visual hierarchy,and visual message making. I strive to create effective and focused work that fits into the goals and needs of the client and exceed expectations. I am a colorful, creative, efficient designer who can work either collaboratively in a team environment or individually. I work well with everyone, am a people person, and have very strong empathetic communication.
