I have learned a lot over the years pertaining to different programs as well as processes, and how they interact with one another to create what in the end seems very simple. I've learned various skills which include the Adobe CC design suite namely focusing on Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, but there's so much more I need to learn, if given the opportunity. I am also a metal fabricator a skill I've learned to master over the years of practicing it. Interpersonal skills are also worth mentioning here as I wouldn't have gained the skills I have without positive interaction and feedback from mentors and colleagues. but above all my eagerness to learn and ad to my skill set
