All types of related positions.

Ideal Position:

Past Experience:
In the last ten years I have had the pleasure of working for some great companies (Toyota Motor Sales, Inc.) and clients in corporate, contract and freelance environments. I have an extensive background in freelance Graphic Design. My desire to wear many hats was completely utilized in my last position as I did production,creative design and management. The atmosphere was very creative, relaxed yet expedient.

Additional:
I give 110% to each job or project. I am a people person. Easy to get along with and dependable. I get along easily and respectfully with people. Another one of my strengths is that I am not afraid to learn new things and think out of the box if required.
