Hi, and thank you for visiting!
A bit about my professional self
I love the field of technology because it is always changing keeping it fresh and new. I have a Bachelors Degree of Technology in Visual Communications & Graphic Design.
I am a digital designer with experience in content creation and creating graphics for various media outlets for both print and digital platforms; including: logos, business cards, brochures, flyers, posters, catalogs, pamphlets, trade show banners, social media graphics, social media branding, website design and PowerPoint presentations.
I have experience with Adobe Creative Cloud; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat DC, Premier, After Effects, WordPress, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to name a few.
My background in website design also includes front-end coding in HTML/CSS. I have recently completed a 6 week certification course in UI/UX Design where I learned to use FIGMA to create flowcharts and prototypes which has sparked my interest in developing more knowledge in that high-demand area of digital design to round out my skill-set.
I have taught college courses and tutored students in graphic design using Adobe Creative Suite as well as to build websites using platforms such as, Dreamweaver, WordPress, Wix, etc...
I also work presently in the banking industry as a Customer Service Specialist/Representative where I get the satisfying opportunity to help people on a daily basis.
A bit about my personal self
I have two cats, Guinness and Winter. Guinness is an orange/black calico. I named her before I knew she was a girl. The name just suited her so it stuck. Then I found Winter knocking at my back door on a very cold winter evening on New Years Eve. She was starving, cold, and displaced. She literally forced her way in. It was easy to oblige by taking her in and naturally naming her Winter. She is my grey short-haired fur baby.
I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. We enjoy hiking in the mountains, going to the beach, and traveling to the Caribbean Islands.
For exercise, I love to go dancing. I love free style and partner dancing as well as line dancing. Swing dancing is a favorite type of dance for me because the music is upbeat and brings a happy mood.
My Profession is my hobby
Presently, I create graphics and branding for a local band as well as social media marketing to promote their events.
I like to learn new things and keep skills fresh. I am always on different independent learning websites taking various courses in graphic design, digital media, etc. Yes, I am addicted to YouTube for the plethora of educational videos which helps me to get quick answers to advance my skills when I am working on a project or looking for new ideas.
I do enjoy staying busy. I discovered an outlet where I can marry my love of writing with shopping. I am presently an Amazon Vine Voice where I get to write product reviews that help others make informed decisions when shopping though that platform. I have a YouTube channel that has reviews of shopping items and some of my travel experiences. That is where I began my passion for video editing, creating social media graphics and YouTube thumbnails.
I just discovered an interest in book publishing by creating my own low content journals using Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. I have just published my first journal and is selling on Amazon at https://amzn.to/46VZ0TG.
