Introduction: I've always been interested in how art enriches life and vice versa. From my first glimpses of television's technicolor marvel to the textured colors of waxy crayon across outlined newsprint, I've been awestruck by the wonder available in this world to those who seek to find it. My role is to imbue the work I create with artfulness, life and wonder. I am a Kansas City area graphic designer with over ten years of experience. I graduated with a BFA in Art with an emphasis on drawing, and a BA in English Literature. I desire to bring my professional outlook to every design challenge expressed through any media. I am experienced with identity and branding, print, advertising, marketing and publication, and web design. I am proficient in the latest software on Windows and Macintosh: Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and Acrobat); Quark; MS Office Professional 2010; Microsoft Publisher; Microsoft Expression; Macintosh OSX; Windows 98; Windows 2000; Windows XP; Windows 7; copywriting; and digital and traditional photography.
