<-- Yep, That's me
I bet you're wondering how I ended up in this situation ... What can I say? I love art and design. But I don't love talking about myself in first, third or any other person. Zero academic training, but over 20 years on-the-job, designing and photographing and writing. I do it because I love it. (30)
doing the most
Proficiency in artifactual (it's a word now, you're welcome) design programs such as Harvard Graphics (Google it), Paint and the OG Corel, to the current Corel and Adobe suites as well as video creation and editing (think training video, not Hollywood blockbuster). Integrating photography skills in creating art, ads and other content. I know my way around a dot matrix printer as well as all modern laser and inkjet variety printers - and sign cutters. I keep up with the trends, too, so I have also learned how to integrate AI into image enhancement & copy writing (not complete generation, I'm not a 100% lazy, just 100% not too proud to accept AI's help).
maximum effort
It's not just about design, but about how to get to the end goal. Having worked in all aspects of media - from ad design to sign design and manufacturing to marketing and print - I'm familiar with adapting the design product to reach that end goal - be it digital or physical. That sounded pretty good, huh? Let me be honest, it's all true, but it's not a straight line - most of the time. Just know - if there's a way, I will not only find it, but I will make it happen.
