Oh lookie here! It ME! (Not bad for a phone pic.)
I’m the oldest of five kids. Naturally, I’m the most responsible, hard working, trustworthy, born leader of the bunch.
Growing up, we had several computers. My dad was and IS a computer wiz. I wanted to be an artist but I also wanted to make money so I decided to be a graphic designer. I started to learn Adobe Photoshop from a very early age with tutorials and exploration.
I created my first website in my teens using Dreamweaver. I was so proud of it from the slideshow of my art to the music that played in the background. Since then, I’ve helped build and manage customer facing websites/projects including this one for myself.
It wasn’t until college that I started to learn Illustrator, my fave Adobe program. I also explored my love for photography; learning what I could do with a DSLR camera and editing software.
I’m constantly trying to learn new things even with my busy schedule. Even if you don’t think I’m the right fit for your project, I’d love to hear what you think!
Skills
I’ve got what it takes. If I don’t, I’ll learn it!
I’m great with Photoshop and Illustrator. I love photography, illustration, and designing print media the most. My office skills are on point and I love to learn new things. Aside from practical office job skills, I can whistle like a bird, wiggle my nose like a bunny, and draw goofy cartoon doodles that will surely brighten your day.
Education
I moved a lot and was a broke youngin but that didn’t stop me from graduating and getting a degree.
I went to two high schools: Republic High School and Marion C. Early High. At MCE, I was a varsity cheerleader, junior varsity cheerleading co-captian, softball left fielder, and clarinet player in the pep band. I graduated from MCE in 2010 with a class of about 26 people or so. While working full time at McDonald’s, I went to Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield, MO. Graduated with an associate’s degree of applied science in graphic design in the year 2013.
