I have worked in the design industry for the last 20 years with full competencies in Creative Suite, and Sketch. I am a customer service professional with extensive knowledge in client management. I have a professional understanding and appreciation for print media, social media marketing, web development and brand development. In addition to my education and practical experience I have focused over the last couple of years on volunteer work, serving on the board of directors for the Airdrie Regional Art Society as the Media and Marketing coordinator which was a great opportunity grow and expand my experience in this industry. I have also been working with the local newspaper, The Echo on promoting local artists, which has resulted in a growing relationship and published articles to add to my portfolio. As a creative individual I truly love what I do and want nothing more than to share my enthusiasm and experience with the design community. I am a technician in my field, with great attention to the smallest of details. I recognize the importance of clear and concise communication with clients and the production of the best possible product upon completion, delivered professionally and on time. I believe customer satisfaction is an important part of any project being undertaken.
