PROFILE

Graphic designer and WordPress designer with 5+ years professional experience. This includes a full service ad agency designing ads for some of the largest equine publications in the US and abroad, designing pitch decks and presentations for a start-up venture capital firm, as well as the sole layout artist for 18 yearly magazines. I think quick turnarounds and tight deadlines are exciting. I am organized and enjoy working with others.
