I have been working in graphic design since 2000 when I worked creating press-ready artwork for Minuteman Press in Champaign, Illinois. Later, I earned a Certificate in Web Design & Development from Parkland College (in 2005) which I used as a Lead Web Artist at Hobbico. I continued to do freelance work after moving to Virginia in 2011. My work has included marketing pieces, infographics, web pages, programs, banner ads, and social media content. Also included in my portfolio are some writing samples and design work from my recent coursework at George Mason University.
