My background is in graphic design, commercial illustration, and commissioned artwork. I currently work as an Associate Marketing and Communications Director and as an art instructor at Academy of Our Lady of Peace. I have experience in all aspects of the design process, from initial logo creation through the entire branding and marketing process. I use my fine arts talent to produce innovative and creative client solutions. I am proficient in oils, markers, ink, pen, acrylic and 3-D models. I am very organized, having done freelance contract work that requires time management and administrative skills, as well as creative and artistic interpretation of client needs. I have supervised clients and interns, and worked as a manager of others. I am efficient, deadline oriented, and able to multi-task havig worked in large and small fast- paced environments. I am trained in both fine and digital arts, and use an integration of these disciplines to create unique collateral pieces. I am efficient in Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Word. I have worked on web patfoms and social media sites as well. A more extensive portfolio of my graphic design and illustration is available for view online (monicahickeyartdesign.com) and my designs have been printed in Powerful Page Design.
