With over ten years of experience in the graphic design and advertising industry, I believe I would be a strong addition to any team. I am a firm believer of freedom that allows individuals to imagine, experiment, and risk all the while having set wide boundaries to ensure the project at hand is not at risk of self destructing.
I have a passion for visions set by various non-profit organizations and I have and still am assisting them in whatever means possible that I can contribute to them artistically or not.
"Life is short. Take risks."
