About

Background · tools · what I’m looking for

I’m a graphic designer in Sarasota–Bradenton. Most of my work starts in print and carries over to screens: an event poster that becomes an animated banner, a show poster that turns into a set of social posts.

Illustrator is my main tool, with Photoshop and InDesign; After Effects and Premiere Pro for motion. Outside class I design and 3D-print my own functional parts, which is why I chose 3D printing as the topic of my eBook. I’ve also filmed and edited paid real-estate videos for Ron Pepka.
