FAQs

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I constantly visit Lynda.com and where you can read ebooks or watch tutorials teach you any pro­gram or new trend you want.

• How did you get started doing this type of work?

  Some­time in the mid­dle of high school I started think­ing about how I could apply cre­ativ­ity to a job and came up with graphic design. I am not a purely logic-based per­son­al­ity nor am I totally creative-based. Graphic design was some­thing that had the right amount of cre­ativ­ity and struc­ture for me to be inter­ested in. Plus, my local col­lege had a degree plan for it. Watch­ing the movie Big, with Tom Hanks, may or may not have had an impact on my decision.

• What types of customers have you worked with?

  I design things related to the inter­net (Web sites, ban­ners, eblasts, etc.), and just about any­thing on paper (logos, brochures, sta­tionery, rack cards, direct mail, annual reports, etc.). I also do illus­tra­tion work..
