I am a graphic designer who creates branding materials and custom graphics for a living. I have over three years of experience in Adobe programs, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, as well as subsequent experience in programs like Figma and Procreate. In additional to having experience in the traditional avenues of graphic design work, I also have had the privilege of having access to and some knowledge of the 3D modeling software Z Brush and the laser printer the Glowforge, which opens up a whole new avenue for what I can create with graphic design.
I went to Liberty University for a degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Creative Writing and formerly a minor in Business. I aim to put myself out there as an independent creator with the skills to design things that serve a purpose, not to just look pretty. My goal is to become either a freelancer graphic designer and publisher or to be hired on a team to work on any type of narrative creative content, such as movies, TV shows, and video games. In essence, I hope my work will be put to helping something bigger than myself.
My long term goal is to either become a freelancer graphic designer and publisher or to be hired on a team to work on any type of narrative-driven creative content, such as movies, TV shows, video games, and other avenues that are evolving in this technologically driven era. My short term goals is to narrow in on the field of branding for now to refine the techniques and skills I have learned in university. I choose branding as my current focus because I believe branding encompasses a lot of the core ideas behind the concept of graphic design, and so if I can master my branding, then I can master other types of graphic design much easier. Branding and creating brand materials is also enjoyable to me because it is art with a specific function in mind, one that the designer can craft to fit his/her vision.
