In My Own Words
6 years of total experience in the Graphic Design field. I have been a Freelance Graphic Designer for two years now while working a full-time position as a screen printer. I have worked closely with a local skateboarding organization called Sk8nelson creating apparel, Deck graphics, and creative content for the social Media. I have also designed some logos for small business owners and private entities. I recently finished a certification program I started back in 2021.
