Summary

I wish to use all of my experiences and knowledge of researching, development, and visual concept design to apply that to a different career path. As I owned my own business, I've networked and marketed myself as a designer that asks questions to ensure her clients were happy. I will use the same tenacity to ensure goals and satisfaction are met for both the client and the team.
