Objective

Seeking an entry level position in Graphic Design.

Personal Statement:

My life has always revolved around creativity and creative outlets. It's just part of who I am. Graphic Design gives me a professional source to practice what I love doing. My design process always begins with pen and paper and many iterations before I create a finalized version on the computer. I pride myself on my more analog sensibilities and hand making and designing items. That being said, I am very aware and knowledgeable of the power and software capabilities of a computer.
