Effective design is beautiful, simple, and powerful. It is evocative and engaging, and is often the first impression a customer has of your brand. What is the story you are trying to tell? The designs I strive to create are dynamic - they tell the story, YOU, the client want the customer to know. Whether it's a flyer, a logo, or a website being re-designed or created for the very first time, I want your design to have an impact. How do I create designs that make an impact? Customer service is my top priority. I work to understand what you need and want, even when you don't know. That includes providing you lots of options, getting your feedback every step of the way, and of course providing edits/updates until you are ready to launch. Tools are an important part of the process. I use Adobe Creative Suite - primarily Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat as well as Bootstrap, HTML/5, CSS/3, Javascript, and jQuery depending on the project. I also have experience with object-oriented programming concepts and design, including Java. My portfolio is diverse and includes work for a major healthcare provider in San Diego, a California State University system, as well as small businesses across the U.S. I have experience creating logos, flyers, websites including UI/UX design, and even graphics for PowerPoint presentations. less
