What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated graphic designer with a strong background in brand identity and visual communication. My journey began at Portland Community College, where I earned an Associate of Arts in Painting, followed by a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Portland State University. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various roles, including my current position as a Prepress Technician at Tanoshi Kids Computers, where I ensure the quality and accuracy of printed materials.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led creative projects, including defining brand identities and managing marketing strategies. My experience as Head of Creative Services and Graphic Designer at De Leone Corporation allowed me to collaborate with talented designers and oversee the production of high-quality visual content. I take pride in my ability to balance creativity with adherence to brand guidelines, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards.
With proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, InDesign, and WordPress, I am adept at creating engaging visuals that resonate with target audiences. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to innovative projects and help brands tell their stories effectively.
