My career in graphic design began when I started creating Mother's Day cards in high school that later turned into creating flyers, business cards, and logos while attending Lander University in Greenwood, South Carolina. After graduating in 2008, I began freelancing and have been doing it ever since. Graphic design is an enjoyable challenge which allows me to work with all kinds of customers and companies, learning from each one of them while enhancing my professional skills. I love helping my clients find a better way to communicate their message to the world. Whether it is a logo, flyer, website, etc. their message and story are important. That is why graphic design gives me the opportunity to express myself, communicate, and explore my curiosity with the world. When I'm not doing design or taking photos, I am always reading or watching youtube videos of new techniques or learning a new program.
