Senior Graphic Designer
Ossining,NY
Summary
In my view, graphic design is not just about making things look nice; it's about problem solving. As an analytical thinker, I see each graphic request as a puzzle to be solved. In evaluating each design task, I strive to provide creative, attractive, on-brand solutions that best suit the job. I have a great eye for layout, and am skilled in illustration, allowing for unique customization. Often working on multiple projects for multiple clients, I am experienced with tight deadlines and multi-tasking, so being organized is a must. I'm also a fast learner who enjoys acquiring new skills and software as the job requires.
