Available to hire
I have been working as a freelance graphic designer creating 4 pg.
circular advertising since 2013. I am now seeking a new position with a new
company that can utilize my vast skills and experience.
I began teaching in 2018 at Hussian College in Philadelphia.
I had an extremely successful first year of teaching with all my students
succesfully graduating and over 80% of my classes passing nd getting jobs
out of graduation. I taught classes in Graphic Design, Advertising
Communications and Senior Portfolio. Many people have said teaching comes naturally to me, and I was able to turn around failing students to
hriving students, so to me, that is success.
Working my way up from temporary production artist thru graphic Artist
Manager and Art Director I have created everything from Business Cards and Logos to Full Color Catalogs, Multi-page Circular Advertisements and even Billboards and thousands of brochures and direct mail pieces and more.
