"Hello. Do you need help to learn how to use Adobe design software? Or do you have very specific questions for a specific project? I can help. I am a professional Graphic Designer with over 20 years of experience. I have an expert level of knowledge of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications with a Minor in Studio Art.

As the Art Production Manager for a large Toy Company, I trained, managed and proofed artwork of Junior Designers. Designed logos, sales flyers, product packaging, point of sale displays and other print collateral. Produced three annual catalogs. Created 3-D digital illustrations for product ideas, used complex application of PhotoShop tools to edit digital photography.

My desire to share my love of art led me to become an Elementary School Art Teacher. Planned lessons, instructed and encouraged Elementary School students in the use of materials and techniques for the creation of many types of art. Taught art theory, history and appreciation.

I returned to the field of Graphic Design for a major floral company where I design both annual 2000+ item wholesale catalogs. Collaborate with the design team on seasonal showroom themes and products. Edit and organize product photography. Create digital product mock ups, website banners, signs, invitations, catalog supplements and a digitally shoppable showroom flip book.

I have been training my co-workers to use Adobe programs for years. I love teaching others to use these amazing tools to be creative, share our ideas with others, market products or whatever the purpose might be." less...
