Hello! I’m a passionate, detail-oriented and organized designer. I'm a problem solver, a quick study and willing to learn any new skill to accomplish the task at hand. I am currently seeking full-time employment.
My skills have been primarily utilized at an in-house level. However, I'd welcome the opportunity and challenge of working in an agency setting.
