Born and raised in Orange County, CA, I began my freelance career while still in high school; creating ad layouts for a local sports marketing agency. I went on to earn my B.A. in Communication Design, at California State University, Chico, obtaining multiple internships along the way to expand my knowledge and satisfy my hunger for design. Upon graduating, I moved to Los Angeles to continue my career as a Graphic Designer for a high-end interior design showroom, and further my freelance reach. My current position allows me to continue my design practice, while increasing my marketing knowledge in the print & digital realm.
Through my college education, internships, and freelance jobs, I have learned and extensively practiced the core skills required for nearly any design and marketing need. Business cards, magazines, posters, infographics, websites, logo designs, email & social media marketing are just a few of the jobs I’ve worked on for a wide variety of clients.
Being a graphic designer means knowing the Creative Suite. Starting with my first version of Photoshop in freshman year of high school, I have continuously practiced the skills necessary to become proficient in digital & print design. Although evident throughout my portfolio work, here’s a glance at my primary skills.
The design process is crucial in any project. In order to achieve desirable results, it is important to begin with extensive research, until you have a full understanding of the client’s vision, as well as the demographic being catering to.
