Design Skills & Proficiencies
For the past decade plus I have been a full time Graphic, Production and Visual Designer. In my spare time I have been freelance designing & consulting as well as photography of all sorts. Having both a Graphic Design BA & Fine Arts BFA degree allows me to float seamlessly between concept to production with ease. I know the process of being a graphic designer as well as a production designer, how to work with each group and how to make jobs easier for others.
I have always prided myself on being a well rounded designer who can do everything from concept to production and everything in-between.
