I graduated from Muskingum College in 2004 with a Bachelors degree in Art with a focus in graphic design and a minor in Business. I have experience designing logos, business cards, flyers, signs, banners, advertisements, murals, t-shirts, websites, and giftware and home décor products for various companies and small businesses. I am proficient in many graphic design programs such as Quark Express,
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Image Ready, and Corel Draw. It is important to note that I learn new software very quickly and enjoy expanding my abilities. I am an extremely hard-working individual who is dedicated to creating the perfect design for a wide variety of customers. In my current position as a graphic designer and artist, I design giftware and home decor. I also create vendor specification sheets for items to be sent to China, design flyers, postcards, packaging, and assist with catalogs when needed. I am also responsible for design and layout of OWI Present Times magazine. As a graphic designer, I understand the importance of maintaining communication between many other departments to fulfill advertising and promotional needs. I have worked with numerous clients to create custom products to be sold in their stores while assisting with their packaging and/or display needs. Presently I design products for both companies’ product lines. In addition to being an artist I am also a brand manager for our key accounts. In this position I set the trends and work directly with buyers to create the perfect look and feel for each company as needed.
