I am a true spelling and grammar wiz. I think I would be perfect for this job. At the age of 5, I was reading newspaper. By the time I reached elementary school, I found myself in the classroom correcting my teacher because she spelled mayonnaise wrong on the board. Every time I read something, I look for gramatical errors and spelling mistakes. I guess I do it as a habit. I participated in school spelling bee's and won many of them. My teacher's called me a spelling wiz. They would all rely on me anytime they had a problem with spelling a word. They would even ask me when they're not sure where a comma should be placed in a sentence. I am great with catching run-on sentences and I'm also a remarkable editor. I also have a love for the books you publish. I have always told myself that I would land a job with a publishing company. I'm happy I noticed this site. Please pick me for the job. I promise you will be happy that you have chosen the right candidate.

My passion is to serve entrepreneurs in a meaningful way by custom-developing tools that will help them launch their business and sell their services and products online. I'm a graphic designer and web developer with experience in a range of production environments, including newspaper/magazine print publishing and live events. I specialise in the design of brand identities, documents for print & the web (brochures, e-books, pamphlets etc) and Wordpress websites. I can handle more technical challenges such as complex forms, booking systems or online shops. I do front-end design and customise premium Wordpress themes to match a specific design brief. I pride myself on delivering a high standard of work and go the extra mile to make sure that my designs are the absolute best work I can do: from the initial research phase to careful proofreading before preparing the final print files.

Kind Regards, Karin PS: I also really enjoy telling stories and sharing ideas, works in progress and just talking a lot in general over on Instagram, so join me there if you like that kind of thing :) www.instagram.com/freshfirestudio
