I am a Toronto-based Graphic Designer looking to bring my skill-set and love of print to a full-time post in Miami. Having completed a three year accredited Graphic Design program in Canada, I have the requisite qualifications for the NAFTA TN Visa and therefore do not require sponsorship to secure a position in the US.
I have accumulated varied experience through my corporate and freelance endeavours that I believe will make me a well-rounded asset to your team. My strengths are in typography, layout, instructional design and branding. I offer you not only dedication, reliable service and an enthusiastic attitude, but clean and modern design aesthetic and an eye for detail. As an employee, I excel in a team environment and work equally well independently with little or no supervision.
