Designer. Thinker. Doer.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I was born with a love for aesthetically pleasing things, no matter the medium. I like things that look good. So, what do I do for a living? I do just that. I make things that look good and, usually, make a few friends in the process.

Education<\/h2>\n
\n

<\/h2>\n

I had established a passion for the arts and technology at an early age and knew that I wanted a career that incorporated both. After high school, I attended Polk State College for two years to obtain my Associates degree and continued my studies at the University of Central Florida to obtain a degree in the field of digital media. Specializing in graphic design, I had an incredible experience at UCF and was able to hone in a particular set of skills using traditional artistry and technology to develop my portfolio. As any good designer knows, we are never finished learning. I continue to pursue new techniques, study trends and develop my traditional skill through personal projects and freelance opportunities.<\/p>\n

Work Experience<\/h2>\n
\n

<\/h2>\n

Throughout high school and my undergraduate career, I welcomed any opportunity to better myself as a designer. Promoting myself within the community on a volunteer and freelance basis, I was able to establish a solid clientele. During my time at Polk State College, I was approached for an internship with a local web design company. Working part time and balancing my studies, I was able to get some real world experience in the field of web design and development. Since then I have been able to further develop my knowledge of digital print production as well as traditional hand-pulled screen printing.<\/p>\n

Career Goals<\/h2>\n
\n

<\/h2>\n

My career path is very simple. I want to be successful. I understand that I am still young in my career, but I would hope to establish myself as a respected artist in the design community and obtain a stable job in the industry. Above all else, I strive to stay in my field as it is what I am truly passionate about. They say if you do what you love, you\u2019ll never work a day in your life.<\/strong> I aim to do just that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
