I am a graphic designer.
I began my graphic design career nearly three decades ago at a small, family-owned print shop, where I first discovered the thrill of seeing my designs come to life. I learned how to take an idea from a computer screen to press, post-production, and successfully into the hands of the customer.
I entered the fast-paced world of newspapers, where I embraced the urgency of daily deadlines and the power of attention-grabbing advertisements. My most recent chapter has been as an in-house designer in a real estate office. It's been an exciting challenge to create captivating marketing materials that help both properties and brokers shine in a competitive market.
Those early days were marked by hands-on learning, where I gained invaluable insights into the art of print, typography, and visual communication. My path working as a graphic designer has been a continuous process of learning and adapting to evolving technologies.
