EDUCATION
I started my higher education geared toward business and marketing at Loyal University (Chicago). Later on, I transferred to SCAD, a major school for interactive design and game development in the US. SCAD taught us to focus on the creation of unique ideas, which we would then explore and expand with the new developing software of the time. SCAD fostered a highly flexible and changing technology environment, teaching us to adapt to new software and hardware tools as they came along and making its students highly successful in being adaptable. I also minored in conceptual illustration to enrich my training in game development.
SUMMARY
SKILLS
I am very passionate about branding, using knowledge on areas like Photo Compositing, Graphic and Web Design, with a variety of standard tools like the Adobe Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Lightroom. I am also very familiar with web editing tools used by small companies, such as Wix or Wordpress. At home with the latest tool in the box, Sketch, as well as the Google Suite, I have an array of resources to execute sleek and identifiable branding campaigns which help companies stand out.
EXPERIENCE
I have 10 years’ web and graphic design experience under my belt. Starting with helping small businesses and companies throughout Atlanta to refine and sharpen their branding, I have gone on to producing branding and marketing content for companies such as Delta, Honey Baked Ham and Orkin, as well as charities such as Building New Hope and Karen Toffler Charitable Trust. Having run my own company, my experience has made me highly familiar with the digital media world.
