I am an accomplished graphic designer for both print and web with many years of experience in commercial art. I am currently based in Sacramento, CA. My primary skills include the Adobe Creative Suite, HTML, CSS, interface design, digital and traditional illustration, image manipulation, digital photography and videography, video editing, and motion graphics.
I have worked extensively in both the corporate sphere and as a freelance graphic designer. My last position was with Golden State Foods in Irvine, CA, where I served as Senior Communications Specialist. I have completed contract work for The Walt Disney Company, Universal Studios, Stephen J. Cannell Productions, Mobil, Arco and Knott’s Berry Farm.
In addition to earning my Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art, I completed a one-year diploma in Web Design and Interactive Communications with The Art Institute of California–San Francisco in December, 2014. I am adept on both Mac and PC platforms. I believe that good design conveys a clear message while being both simple and contemporary. I look forward to learning about any opportunities that would allow me to lend my talents and experience to a team of creative professionals.
I enjoy the creative and collaborative aspects of my work, and creating just the right graphic design and illustration solutions to best serve my client's needs. It means a lot to me when a previous client comes back to me for more design work, or when a previous client recommends me to their business associates and my business grows by word of mouth. I take great pride in producing the best final product I can, paying attention to all the details, while seeing my client's image, vision and mission are clearly and professionally represented. In my previous position as Senior Communications Specialist with Golden State Foods in Irvine, CA I was the creator and protector of the company's branding. I enjoyed being the company's "King of Branding."
