Hi, I graduated in 2009 with a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design. I am currently working towards my a Masters in Graphic Design. I've worked on and off as a freelancer since I graduated, so about 3 years now. I have recently been doing small jobs for churches in the town I currently live in. I'm more of an Illustrator than a Graphic artist but I dabble in everything and anything.My primary programs are Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. I've dabbled in Coral but I'm more of an Adobe user. I currently live in Parsons, Kansas, it can be found on a map so I guess the town is not as small as I originally thought. I have some of my work posted here while the rest of it can be found at my deviantart account. If more information is required please let me know.

I have been drawing since I can remember. I learned how to draw humans from watching dragonball z and found a love in creating characters and stories.

There are a few important facts you should know about "me." I graduated from Lake Superior State University from 2007 with a BA in English. I minored in Business, which has come in handy as I have been a slave to retail for the past eight years. I am no longer interested in being a pawn in corporate games and want to actually use the degree I went to school for. Hence my desire to put my writing background to use. I just finished my first children's book and am looking to get it published and continue to write in any avenue that I possibly can. I have a passion for all things involving writing. Whether the job is big or small, I am up for the job. I have a knack for editing and am constantly doing it no matter where I am or who I am with. A local store here is "Going out of buiness," instead of "business" and it takes everything that I am not to go in and point out that they completely missed a letter. I love all things creative and writing helps me with that creativity. As far as writing experience goes, I have written for a local club newsletter, as well as a few short stories and a children's book. I have experience in t-shirt design and also love to paint and draw. My artwork has been showcased in both public and private forums. Please contact me for any further information.
