Who am I?
I am a twenty-two year old living in northwest Ohio. With a strong family background in printing and design, it became natural at an early age to merge the two fields together. I have been doing design work on a computer since I was in the sixth grade. Teaching myself the necessary software, I created graphics for an online gaming company located in England and played by people all over the world. At that point, I became hooked on graphic design and continued learning everything I could to further my talent. While living in California, I took an elective class in digital media and worked on Apples, creating videos for a daily high school news show. I also put website development on my plate, and learned that in the evenings. Upon returning to Van Wert, I enrolled in Vantage Career Center’s Digital Media program and got hired at a local sign and screen printing shop. After high school, I went on to take classes at Rhodes State College. During that time and into the present, I continue to take classes online to learn more about digital media and specific software.
Along with working at Creative Designs and Signs, I have maintained a freelance business working directly with clients for over six years. I provide many design services, such as creating logos, business cards, stationary, direct mailings, billboard design, newspaper ads, and of course websites! I am a member of two professional organizations focused on design, American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), and the Graphic Artists Guild (GAG). I am also on the board of the Digital Media class at Vantage Career Center.
