Hello
Freelance Graphic Designer with 13+ years experience, 8 of which are post degree, creating visually appealing freelance designs for a variety of projects. Proficient in Adobe Suite, including but not limited to Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere, with experience in illustration and photography.
I aim to break into the professional design space so I may contribute and challenge my skills to create intuitive and visually appealing graphics based on company needs. My specialties include digital design with raster and vector, illustration, brand identity, typography, video editing, motion graphics, with a bit of a self taught experience in photography and audio engineering.

My Story
I began my journey with graphic design in the early 2010s when my garage band needed some sort of marketing material. As someone who was already involved with visual art, only illustrations at this point, my fellow band members looked to me to make things happen. This lead to a series of less than stellar logos and flyers that we used to promote ourselves and our shows.
In the fall of 2014 I began my education towards obtaining my degree in Graphic Design. Within my first semester, my family was hit with a major loss. My father passed away, the day before my birthday, from cancer at the age of 54. This was a rough moment in life but I did what I needed to push through and not let it be completely debilitating. I got through the next couple of years and graduated in 2017 with my Associate's in Art and Graphic Design.
When COVID hit in 2020, my social life took a dive so I sought other means to interact with people. I had barely ever been on Twitch but I decided that I would give myself a shot at live streaming. I designed a few assets and began going live. It was a slow going growth but I made new friends in that space and began selling myself as a graphic designer there and doing some work for a handful of streamers. Over time, I began creating new assets to update and add a more personalized touch to help myself stand out from streamers who were using stock assets. In this time, I also put together my own promotional material to inform my community of larger stream related events (i.e. anniversary, birthday, or holiday streams).
I have helped others bring their projects to life and ideas into fruition, whether it be developing a logo and brand for their business, illustrating the cover for an album that a band is releasing, or creating stunning graphics for YouTube and Twitch affiliates.
