I have been working in freelance design for agencies and studios, the work has been picking up recently as I quit my previous full-time job towards the end of last year.

Companies have been utilizing my skill set to finish work that they do not have time to. I have been a part of everything from the creative concept development stages, to finishing a project—and also sometimes jumping in the middle stages and helping push projects to being finished.

Student Art Direction, Course Updates, Course Organization/Preparation

I produced and installed way-finding signage. I followed brand guidelines for clients who had them, and offered solutions for those who did not. I took work orders from my project manager, created the appropriate artwork files for client approval (color, dimension, material, typography, design specifications), and oversaw the production of the signs when the art was approved.

The Bachelors of Fine Arts in graphic design program at Ohio University requires a range of studio courses; 3D studies, color theory, drawing concepts, art history, digital visualizing, advanced printmaking (screen printing, lithography, relief), along with the two year course curriculum in graphic design; graphic design principles, typography, form & content, layout design/ grid usage/theory, branding concepts, book-binding and letterpress, grid development, and a senior thesis project that applied our knowledge to a self directed focus.
