Summary
I have worked as a Graphic Designer in the Bay Area for 4 years now. I've worked at a design agency for 1 year, in-house for over a year, and have been freelance designing ever since. I have demonstrated success in pitching concepts, scoping work and delivering assets on time. I am fluent in the Adobe Creative Suite with a high degree of expertise in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. While I've had fun freelancing, I miss being part of a team. I am hoping to find a small team of creatives who are just as passionate about design as I am.
