about me.

mb_graffics_icons33

graphics + web + video

As a Graphic Designer with exceptional illustration skills, I'm known for my ability to jump creative styles - from clean & classic to edgy & grunge, you can expect that I'll bring impressive designs to the table. It might be interesting to note that I've been creating illustrations since I learned how to hold a pencil. As an added bonus, I've gained knowledge in web development that's put me on a moderate HTML/PHP programming skill level. As a quick learner and a true "techie", I've constantly advanced my skills with new challenges and continue to move forward with my technology knowledge. Motion graphics, video editing and animation are something that I truly enjoy creating.

My freelance clients are located all over the U.S. I'm available for full-time, part-time, or freelance opportunities in the Graphic Design Field, Web Design, and Video Production throughout the continental U.S.
