About Me.
Hi! I've been working in the printing industry for the last 30 years after receiving my Associate's Degree in Graphic Media Production from Ivy Tech in 1992. In my career I have continued learning new software starting with Multi-Ad Creator to create ads for publication in the local newspaper and shoppers guides to Adobe software to create multiple projects in the printing companies I have had the pleasure of working for. I strive to keep up with the the latest techniques and trends to produce modern, eye catching products. I have mastered InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. You can see my work history below and some of my design work on the following pages. Please review and contact me if you have any opportunities for full-time employment or freelance projects I can help you with.
Thanks for you time and consideration!
