Savage and passionate about all my work, I am a seasoned Graphic Designer & Product Photographer from Castro Valley, California, bringing over 15 years of experience in both print and digital formats. I am exceptionally, almost freakishly, organized (many co-workers have have begged me to come organize their house) with key strengths in both B2B and B2C marketing materials; including email/social media campaigns, website design, printed/digital catalogs, sell sheets etc. and fashion accessory design/specifications. I have an innate ability to master new skills quickly and a strong attention to detail allowing for maximum efficiency in all aspects of my work. I've worn so many hats over the years that I am unrivaled in my versatility, you name it and I can do it (or figure it out in record time). Always up for a challenge, I am excited to see what my skills can do to grow your business!
