PERSONAL PROFILE
Get To Know Me
I am a recent graduate from the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC. I moved several times while growing up and have been an avid traveller my whole life, living abroad in both Spain and Argentina. I have found that these different places and life experiences have had a significant impact on my character and creativity. I draw creative inspiration from the world around me every day as well as past experiences. Able to adapt to any situation or place, I am constantly looking to have new experiences and grow personally and professionally.
PROFESSIONAL OUTLOOK
Where I Am. Where I'm Going.
I approach each challenge with a burning enthusiasm, desire to learn, and positive attitude. I am extremely hard working and am able to look at the broader picture of a project while still paying close attention to specific details. I have found that each project is a chance to learn and grow as an artist and designer. It is this, combined with my strong skill set and experience, that I think would make me a valuable addition to any company. Be sure to browse through my resume and work on this site, so that you get a better idea of what I can offer you.
