As far back as I can remember, I have always loved helping others bring their visions to life. During my high school career, I had a teacher that gave me the tools and the confidence that set me down this path. Since then I have always looked for a challenge to hone my skills. From t-shirt designs to banners, email blasts to flyers; there has been nothing that has kept me from attempting the task. Even if there is something I don't know. I am always willing to learn something new. We live in a rapidly changing society, and I do the best I can to keep up with the times.
