I'm a graphic designer with strong concepting skills and a deep interest in the visual display of information. I have been working in the social media space for the past 4 years and have created digital, print, and video assets to support social media campaigns. I'm drawn to projects that allow for the possibility of utilizing new platforms or finding new uses for existing platforms.
