A Little About Me.

Well… I’m a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design, and have been a very talented artist since I can remember. I'm constantly on the look out to gain more experience, and for a chance to be doing what I love most; anything that challenges my creativity.

Currently, I'm interning as a Graphic Designer for The Virginia Spartans Football League, and also their Cheer & Dance Team. I’m in charge of designing all their promotional fliers, game schedules, logos, and stuff like that. Along with the internship I'm working at the Copy and Print section at Office Depot, which also includes designing things such as: business cards, fliers, brochures, etc. So please feel free to contact me at any time, and I'll be more than happy to help out!
