ABOUT At a
very early age, I began an interest in art. Anything that interested me,
I would draw and create other different types of media that would explore
my creativity. As the years went by in my youth into high school I knew
I would pursue a career in art. Not really knowing what type of career
in art I would pursue, I enrolled at Bowling Green State University to
test my skills in the graphic design field. During my years at Bowling
Green I gained a strong foundation in the fine arts, typography skills,
imaging, and page layout design. I feel a solid understanding of these
skills appeal to the viewer in a visual presence. Also, I gained the knowledge
of skills of a 2D foundation artist. My main skill in this field is drawing
using pencil and charcoal.
After college I landed a position at a local newspaper outside my hometown
as an ad designer. My responsibilities there were creating and updating
ads for the newspaper. After working there I received a graphic design
position at bioWorld, so I made the move to Columbus, Ohio, which was
one of my goals after college. At bioWorld my main responsibility was
creating the company's catalog. Some other duties were creating magazine
ads, business cards, labels, and web banners. After that I was hired as
the art director at BigThumb, a IT / MIS company. My responsibilities
ranged from print to web design. Currently, I also contract various freelance
graphic design opportunities. These positions have taught me strong computer
skills, and a creative vision to appeal to a broader audience.
