Why

There's just something about creating dynamic, alluring designs; to bring mere ideas to brilliant realities. Sound, striking design has the power to sway a person into feeling a certain way about something, which presents amazing possibilities into how we view our world.

Why me

I have been designing electronically for the last 15 years, but for some reason never pursued this as a career. The first Bachelor's Degree that I received in 2004 in Biblical Studies gave me invaluable wisdom and knowledge that made me a better person, and gave me countless life skills, but no career. So, I went back for my second Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts and Graphic Design (Dec 2010) so that I can have the chance to do what I really love. My education gave me that opportunity by honing my artistic abilities to understand what great design looks like, in so many different mediums, anywhere from motion graphics to logo development. I am skilled in a variety of interactive media, including Adobe Flash, AfterEffects, Dreamweaver, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Final Cut Pro. I also have a solid knowledge of several programming languages, including ActionScript 3, XHTML, XML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL. And yeah, I probably should have just become a doctor after all this education. I get that a lot.

The Goal

I am now seeking to be submersed into a creative team where I can contribute in whatever way I can towards big ideas becoming actuality. My concise list of clients for freelance design has given me brief but great experience in working with clients to achieve their visions, creating web sites, logos, t-shirts and banners. I also continue to take on freelance projects as I have the time.

Thank you again for your consideration. Let's create stunning designs together.
