EXPERTISE
BIO
I am a Graphic Designer/Web Designer/Web Developer with a Bachelor's degree in graphic design from the University of Northern Iowa. I have worked as an in-house designer for a robotics company where I worked closely with the marketing manager and had ownership of the advertising and brand identity for the company. I have also worked for a software and web development company where I worked with clients in a variety of industries to create designs both for new entities and to fit in established branding guidelines. I would love the opportunity to talk about what your company's needs are and how I can help meet them.
