Biography
Creating is what brings me joy. I was fortunate enough to learn this early in life and develop that passion into a career in design. My industry experience ranges from publishing, broadcasting, transportation and the technology industry.
As I have a love for all art, illustration is the area I gravitate towards. I like to follow the artist, read up on their processes and learn how they do what they do. The design projects I enjoy most are blog graphics, ebooks, white papers, website design and animation because all are led by a story that I get to bring to life with graphics.
Continuously learning and developing my skills is most important to me. This is accomplished by reading books, following blogs, taking on-line courses or simply being open to new ideas.
Outside of work I continue to challenge myself. Currently I am producing my first class for the Skillshare Teachers Challenge. Another personal goal is training my golden retriever pup to be a therapy dog.
