About Me I am a graphic designer. As a graduate of Publication Design and Hypermedia Technology (PDHT), I have learned techniques and software to help me create all the designs I can imagine. Design has always been a passion of mine. Making something that appeals to the eyes have always interested me. Being able to make content easier to understand just by placing information in easy to follow layouts. I love bright, vibrant design and colors. I am always up for a challenge and trying something new. A fast paced environment is where I thrive. Having been brought up playing many sports, I enjoy working as part of a team, while still being able to do solid work on my own. I am a true perfectionist as well as determined to achieve what I set out to do.

My Skills My true calling is print design. I love layouts, magazine design, logo design, posters, business cards, illustration, branding and photo editing as well as many others. My style can be described as clean geometric design with eye catching colors. I adore designing for clients, because every time the design is always different. You’re always creating for a different goal and purpose.
Market Knowledge The average rate for a freelance graphic designer is $55 an hour. This rate is based on may things, including skill, type of design, education, office space and others. Other than being a freelancer, my goal is to become a Creative Director. I like being able to imagine a design and see it come to life but actually being part of the process is what I enjoy the most.

IHourly present my hourly freelance rate. Rate Calculations This hourly rate is calculated by accumulating all the basic expenses required within a month. Only the expenses needed on a monthly basis; such as rent, transportation, food, insurance and others.These basic expenses which are required to live, added together and divided by the amount of hours worked in a month (144), make up your breakeven point. The break-even point is the hourly rate needed to be able to meet the expenses of your basic needs. Your break-even point then gets a mark-up. This final number is the freelance rate, the amount in which you can meet your monthly expenses while still living comfortably.
