GRAPHIC DESIGNER and FRONT-END DEVELOPER in ROCK HILL.
WEEKEND CUSTOM TYPOGRAPHER and ILLUSTRATOR.

Future Plans: To pursue a career as a designer and/or front-end developer in the city. Interested in creating well-made, user-friendly websites. Plan to maintain and improve the quality of the company at which I work. Providing innovation in design and using the most current as well as timeless solutions. To promote the importance of economically written and simply readable mark-up, organized CSS, hand-coded HTML, and overall clean, multi browser-compatible code.

Education: BFA in Visual Communication Design - Graphic Design, Winthrop University (May 2010)

Skills: I’m a wizard with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, HTML, and CSS. I know a bit of PHP, Javascript, and have Flash experience. Great with team leadership, concept development, and brand creation. Optimizing for search engines (SEO) is a breeze. Finessing curves with the pen tool and laboring away at hand drawn illustration is really gratifying. If all that doesn’t convince you, I promise I have unwavering, stay-up-all-night dedication, a relentless obsession with aesthetics, and an incessant desire to be organized.
