EDUCATION
Fall 2006 – Present Graphic Design, Self Taught My Laptop
• Over the past 3-4 years I have taught myself the ins and outs of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have always loved art, and from working in non-profits where we couldn’t afford a designer every time we needed something created, I took on the role of graphic designer by necessity. My love of design grew from there, and I am constantly seeking new design tactics and inspiration.
