While completing my BFA in Communication Design at Texas State University, I became an experienced manager with a demonstrated history of working in the restaurant industry to pay my way through college. My real passion however is graphic design. I am skilled in Art Direction, Design Research, Management and Customer Service, as well as Branding & Identity for companies. I believe that the best designs come from thorough research and very strong concepts that come from a place of understanding.In 2016, I suffered from a medical episode that caused me to be visually disabled. Through this experience I have realized that much of what is available to make life simpler in (terms of technology) is in fact much too challenging to be utilized by users with various disabilities. My ultimate goal is to help construct a world in which disabled individuals enjoy the same amount of autonomy that non-disabled individuals do.My hobbies include reading, writing, drawing/ painting, and attending to my very needy tuxedo cat. I enjoy learning as I’m always trying to obtain a new skill. I’m currently living in Leander, TX and looking for an internship or part time position in my field. My end goal is to either do advertising, design researching, or creative directing projects that will make a difference in this world.
