I am an award-winning graphic designer with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Graphic Design as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree.  

My previous position as a graphic designer with Office Depot has provided me with excellent growth opportunities not only as a designer but someone who is able to work in a deadline driven atmosphere.

While working at Office Depot, I have had the opportunity to concept and art direct a nationwide campaign, direct mail pieces as well as manage the overall design of national weekly inserts.

I am currently working as a freelancer and expanding my outreach to local and nationwide businesses.
