The Tools of the Trade

I’m highly skilled in many of the Adobe Creative Cloud applications. In addition to the designer’s standard toolbox of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, I also am experienced with Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom Classic, and Dreamweaver. I have also added Adobe XD to my repertoire.

Putting all the skills together

In today’s ever-changing world, graphic designers need more than just software knowledge. I have learned that to be an effective designer, we need a certain amount of curiosity to explore possibilites, problem-solving skills to overcome challenges, design thinking to communicate visually in an effective manner, and experience to know how to apply those skills to a project.

Experience

I have worked in graphic design for well over 10 years. And while that experience has served me well, I wanted to formalize my knowledge of my chosen field by returning to school. In 2017 I earned a BFA in Graphic Design.
