I am a UI designer with 20 years of experience as a tattooer and 10 years in graphic design. I have always sought to create pleasing designs, whether for a tattoo, a logo, or an illustration, and over the years, as I grew more interested and passionate about digital design, I turned my focus to UI design. In pursuing my studies of UI design I have worked hard to develop and grow my expertise in color theory, typography and iconography. Through client collaborations I have sought to craft compelling visual narratives, honing my ability to create tangible, user-friendly designs. I take pride in transforming abstract concepts into tangible designs that seamlessly blend functionality and visual appeal. I look forward to joining a team that shares my passion for creating visually compelling designs that enhance the users experience. --- **Employment and project experience** **Tattooer** Keepsake Studios(currently) _April 2006 - present_ **Graphic Designer** Designed by Sweety _January 2018 - present_ **Senior Production Artist** DC Comics _December 2000 - September 2007
