Summary
I am a Graphic Design and digital media student who focuses heavily on Illustration and design. I am however open to learn and participate in many different fields of design including web, product, and typesetting design. On my off time I participate in multiple personal projects that involve crafting graphic novels/comics and concept design for tabletop games. I hope to eventually land a job focused in those two field styles in the future.
I am highly experienced with Photoshop with 16+ years of experience with the software under my belt.
I'm proficient with Indesign, Illustrator, Aftereffects, and other Adobe software.
I've worked as a Graphic designer for the UPS franchise locations for 6+ years and as a print specialist for 2+ years.
I was an Illustrator for a children's book around the age of 15 and was contracted under my Uncle.
I also have done several volunteer activities such as Caricature art at fairs as well as Volunteer work for Washington Oaks for painting massive poster board designs of wildlife for their Earth Day Celebration.
I'm the designer and author for several Graphic novels such as: Hardway Mountain, Silver and Gold, and The Anchor. I also have a handful of Fan based comics as well.
