It's about time we met...

EDUCATION
B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication - Visual Communication - Graphics from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, May 2008.

SKILLS TO PAY THE BILLS
I have an extreme passion for creating brand identity, graphic design for both print and web, custom typography and illustration, working for and collaborating with a variety of local, national, and international clients, and taking charge of a project from concept generation to post-press completion. I have a sniper's eye for details and thorough appreciation for consistency and brand standards when applicable. Conversely, I love to experiment and push the boundaries of design and strive to bend brand standards within various types of media if the appropriate projects arise. I am very experienced with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, and proficient with both Mac and Windows operating systems.
