I'm a highly motivated person/designer, I work very well on my own or with a team. I'm great under pressure. My objective is to create the best designs that I can (logo,business card,posters,letterhead,etc....)
After the EATON corp. downsized in 2009 I took that opportunity to further my education at Isothermal Community College to get an Associates degree in something I’ve always wanted to do (Advertising and Graphic Designs)
