Bio
First off, I would like to point out that I am not just a Graphic Designer and I do not have a main focus on graphic or web design. This online portfolio is just a showcase of my capabilities of the work that I have done in the past and the present. Every single Graphic or Web Designer has learned their skills in a variety of a different way and they have their own style and personality. I chose to dabble in a little bit of everything instead of focusing on either print, web or video. But most before being a Designer, I am a people person. I am a marketer with an entrepreneurial spirit. In order for me to accomplish both of these things, I chose to learn these skill sets – just as a skydiver needs a parachute. I currently hold a B.A. in Advertising with a minor in Art & Design from the Texas State University. I also hold a Design Certificate from The University of Texas-Austin.
I am currently working at a start-up in Santa Clara, California, where we are focused on email marketing, branding and statistical data. My current title is Relationship Manager. My job description includes proposing partnerships and maintaining relationships that I have built from the ground up. My sales techniques are different because even though we are “new technology” – I thoroughly explain how we are able to do what we do in a way the customer can understand it. My roster includes Lexis Nexis, Consumer Reports, Gold Lasso and more.
I am also a current member of the American Advertising Federation and The Direct Marketing Association.
Interesting Tidbits:

- I love traveling. I am a United Red Carpet Club member (as well as access to other smoozy airport lounges) and hold a Clear Card pass.
- I am a humanitarian in training.
- I have a Southern accent (or so people tell me).
