- 11 years working in the graphic design field has led me to expand my abilities beyond being just a graphic designer. I am able to manage projects from conceptualization and ideation to final output. I can perform any job during this process, from Project Manager and Creative Director, to Graphic Designer, Web Designer, Illustrator, Photographer and even Translator if need be. I am self sufficient, a hard worker, organized, love taking on challenges and telling stories through design. I work under the principle that the message should always dictate the media. When I am not doing one of these things, you will often find me throwing clay, printing on a letterpress, taking pictures of the hummingbirds that watch me while I work or just enjoying a warm brownie with ice-cream.
