I am a highly creative graphic designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications/Design and extensive experience creating marketing materials, catalogs, brochures, posters, sell sheets, flyers, reports, and promotional pieces. I bring strong expertise in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, QuarkXPress, and visual design across both print and digital projects. After transitioning into education while my children were young, I most recently taught digital arts and helped students earn Adobe certifications in Photoshop and Illustrator. Now that my children are teens, I am excited to return to my passion for graphic arts and contribute my design skills, creativity, and deadline-driven experience to a challenging professional role.
