Resume
Creating stunning visuals and eye-catching designs has been a passion of mine for nearly a decade. Through traditional instruction, client experiences, and a self-driven learning style, I have worked to excel in a variety of design areas - everything from 3D modeling and product design to compositing and photography to illustration and layout.
My experiences in environments ranging from student-run design firms to independent contract work to an entertainment advertising agency have taught me to work with and adapt to different design processes and workflows to not only produce quality work, but to do so in a professional and timely manner. I take pride in going well beyond the minimum requirements of a project and delivering work that I'm excited about.
