PORTFOLIO
Table of Contents
I have always been a visual person—I have cultivated fine art and photographic skills throughout high school and college. At Marquette University, I earned my BA in Communications, studying art through the visual effect of advertising, and continued to pursue painting and drawing passionately on the side. In May, I finished a Graphic Design Certification program from Loyola University, where I have expanded my expertise toward art for commercial use. I am skilled in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop as well as Indesign, skills I learned through two graphic design internships and honed while attending Loyola. I am hard working, a good listener and enjoy collaborating with others to create the best ideas. I hope we can begin a conversation.
