ABOUT B
Beginning in 2008, my career has met a wide variety of design, marketing, and print production opportunities. I was fortunate to learn my high school offered optional design courses. Having taught myself Photoshop 5.0 as a teen, I made the decision to take those courses. After 16 years, I have found myself to be a very competent designer with a great deal of knowledge spanning across many types of media. One thing that truly makes a designer valuable is their experience with print. I have worked closely with many other designers from different backgrounds or companies and this is what I discovered, it’s one thing to make something visually appealing; it’s another to make it useful and printable.
