Graphic Designer at Howard County Government creating print, digital, apparel, and marketing designs.

Message

At Howard County Government, I work as a Graphic Designer. I also freelance as a Graphic Designer for Visuals For Vigil.

For Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan New Jersey, I created print and digital designs for marketing needs, including annual reports, a 90th anniversary logo, and marketing materials and logos for Taste of the Good Life.

At Fit2Win Sportswear, I collaborated on sublimated sports apparel designs, prepared mockups for client approval, and built accepted designs into clothing templates for printing. At Nightmare Graphics Screen Printing & Embroidery Company, I created apparel designs using screen printing, embroidery, VersaCAMM, and sublimation.

I studied UX Design at Maryland Institute College of Art, where I completed a Master of Professional Studies. My work and training include graphic design, web design, HTML and CSS, and Adobe Creative Suite; photography is a hobby.
