About 

I am a personable, friendly, ambitious gal, with a drive to succeed my goals.  I enjoy working in groups just as much as I enjoy working alone, I can communicate well and logically with my team to complete each task.

I am a very diverse designer with a background in multiple industries. I enjoy being challenged and diving into new projects.
