IT'S ME!
As a designer I enjoy creating visuals that either convey a message, invoke an emotion and work with clients and organizations to help achieve their marketing and advertising needs. As a graduate of Design at Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts & Technology and working with many companies I have developed strong graphical sense both conceptually and hands on. Through my experiences in working on multiple projects I have learned a wide variety technical skills as well as a strong concept of the design process. This gives me the versatility in being able to work in producing the ideas and the skill to visualize it.
From my experience with working with various organizations and clients I understand the importance of the continual collaborations between the two parties to help achieve their goals. These may range from marketing in creating advertising designs to designing a new look for a website. At the same time we must explore our creativity to bring something new and creating ideas that will meet these goals in an intuitive and elegant way.
