About

Welcome to my website. Please allow me tell you a bit about myself.

I am a graduate of the Graphic Design program of Linn- Benton Community College. I chose graphic design because the work looked enjoyable and I quickly grew to love many aspects of the diverse field. My education has made certain that I have an astute knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite and other programs utilized in the field as well as operating systems upon which these programs can be used. Aside from the knowledge of digital platforms, my education extended to traditional illustration techniques such as colored pencil, pastel, graphite, ink wash, technical pens, markers, and oil and watercolor painting.

The history of design is something that was always discussed and emphasized as being just as valuable a tool as any program or media. I am a firm believer that not all design solutions can be achieved by sitting down in front of a computer and moving shapes about.
