I seek to work among those who uphold a standard of excellence in effective visual communication. I have nearly a decade of professional experience as a degree-holding Graphic Designer. I am proficient on both Macintosh and PC platforms, with experience in print, web/digital & multimedia as well as web development & project management for emerging technologies within the creative technologies field. I have worked for a diverse range of clientele including retailers such as Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble, Sears, Best Buy, Overstock.com & Walmart.com as well as entertainment media companies such as Lions Gate, NPR, NBC Studios, Sony BMG & EMI Music Marketing. I’ve also worked for non-profits & placed ad work in publications ranging from The Charlotte Observer to the New England Journal of Medicine. My written & verbal communication skills along with my organizational abilities lend themselves to leadership roles, either through project management or team leadership & training. I have led teams of anywhere from three to more than twenty members. I value education and learning as a lifelong process and I enjoy teaching people new things when the desire to learn is there.
