I thought if I can make one client happy, I can make another. I decided to go into business for myself when I realized how important my skill set is to small business. Everyone needs design: web, print, etc. My mission is to be the source for companies who do not have the resources or the need to hire someone full-time internally.
I grew up in Marietta, Georgia where my interest in technology began. I was always disecting computers, speakers, amplifiers and the like to learn about their design and mechanics. I went to the University of Advanced Technology in Tempe, Arizona and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Multimedia Development with emphases on web design and interactive media. I worked for Multidimensional Media as their Art Director and most recently at a Safety Products Manufacturer as their Creative Director. These two positions displayed the demand for my talent and the potential to brand my skills as a business. I also realized designers need to have diversity across many industries in order to keep their content fresh and expand their skill set.
I have experience in RGB and CMYK environments. I know best practices for providing cross browser compliant media and consistent print production results.
I have experience designing and developing content rich websites and web applications from concept to completion. I hand code in HTML and CSS to provide streamline ,compliant and readable SEO content. I design with template based content management systems such as Magento, Joomla and Wordpress. A major goal and achievement was redesigning and rebranding the front end web portal of a closed loop ERP System. I have experience rebranding logo-type and creating exciting email campaigns. I am knowledgeable in ethical Search Engine Optimization and Social Media Optimization.
I have experience designing press-ready brochures, business cards, product packaging with cut and fold guides utilizing spot and CMYK values. I have experience separating artwork for screen print and pad print processes. I have designed large catalog brochures with active data importing.
