I have been a Graphic Designer for 10+ years, during which time I used Adobe Creative Cloud mainly Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign as my go-to design software I was taught in school and became a very talented Graphic Designer. I do love Corel too but mainly for vehicle wraps and I have both infront of me at home everyday. As a graduate with a degree in Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology, I started working for a small business Add Logos where I began designing on Corel Draw and printing Vinyl as well as applying heat transfers to apparel. I then moved up into Screen Printing on a manual, semi-automatic and 14 head automatic printer. I was introduced into T-Shirt design when the graphic designer at the company go me a gig with a company in Illinois doing graphic design from home for $25 an hour. I ended up as main Graphic Designer for Signarama where I learned to design on flexi software where I designed all of the Clients' Signs and other design work as well and I worked on the large format printer as well as laminated and masked and mounted. I then worked my way into Giving Tree Realty where I learned the expertise of Adobe Indesign and the fun life of template making and designing marketing materials. I successfully implemented and entire marketing information technology system into Giving Tree's marketing materials so that agents could easily input information and it plugin into the software system pulling info from the CRM and MLS without them having to add all the details. I enjoyed getting some web and social media design experience but it was my last job that I flourished. I was hired as the Graphic Designer and Lead Sign Maker and QC Signs and Graphics and the ONLY employee my boss had no sign experience so my input was EVERYTHING. I branded the name and even created the logo and my most proud moment was when I designed our company trucks vehicle wrap and did all of the production for it which I had never done in my life and I self-taught the production never the less it came out 100% perfect. After designing, printing on the HP 365 Latex Printer, the GFP Laminator and the Graphtec vinyl cutter I realized I was an expert at multi-tasking and that its time for me to settle down and start doing some hard earned freelance work to build my clientele up and get my business up and rolling. With 10 + years of experience in well pretty much every kind of graphic design and print design I am confident to say I can do anything you ask of me and I go above and beyond as every design I create I create it will be done according to your needs whether it needs to be print-cut ready for large format, T-shirt designed for multiple screens , or just a flyer or banner for your marketing and promotional needs I will get the job done and I will get it done fast and efficiently with your satisfaction guaranteed.
