When I began my career as a Graphic Designer and Photographer I had no idea that, in time, it would evolve into so much more.  Through my years in the Marketing/Advertising field, I've seen trends come and go, found passion in learning new technologies, and gained new appreciation for the importance of continuing to grow and learn as part of my career path.  I have a solid background to contribute to creative processes from concept to completion.  My experience ranges from automotive advertising to t-shirt design - and everything in between.  I enjoy sharing knowledge of my experiences and learning from my peers.  My core belief is to work smarter not harder.  That being said, I am a hard-worker and I strive to finish a project on-time and within budget constraints.  I am comfortable working in a team environment but have no problem switching gears to work on my own when necessary.  I've had the pleasure of working alongside various positions within companies and non-profits from the CEO to customer service representatives.  Whether speaking to a large group, or one-on-one, I enjoy working with and talking to people from all walks of life.  I know how to create and/or lead projects and feel comfortable explaining how and why certain steps should be taken for the best ROI.
