About

 

I am a self-taught Graphic and Web Designer with over 10 years of experience specializing in both in-house product development and outside client projects, from design concept to final product, through various print and production mediums, developing concepts via graphics and layouts for product illustrations, company logos and streamlined branding for product lines and websites.

I’m versed in the Adobe Creative Suite of Apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and XD) and Figma, including B2B/B2C commerce for both front end and back end sites such as Magento, Shopify and Squarespace. My experiences involve advising with regard to design style, mockups and formatting, user experiences and user design, production expectations and timescale for production, reviewing final layouts for approval and recommending improvements as needed.

When I’m not designing, I enjoy spending time in nature.

I currently reside in Florida, U.S.A.
