OBJECTIVE

To be creatively challenged as a graphic designer utilizing my talent and experience in graphics, art direction and copy writing. I possess the desire and skills to carry the responsibility in overseeing and contributing to the written and graphic aspects of advertising, publishing and packaging.

EDUCATION

California State University, Fresno | B.A. in English, 1994

EXPERIENCE

Chromozoa | San Francisco, CA (Internet Venture)
Owner, Graphic Designer, 2007–present
Established chromozoa.com, a web site for potential clients to review my qualifications and work. Beginning on a part-time basis in 2007, I contracted print design work with inquiring clients by supplying affordable estimates and by exceeding promised results. In 2011, after building my business up using evenings and weekends, I was finally able to leave my full-time office job to focus all of my attention on to my own company. Aside from my professional graphics skills, I now have the necessary knowledge needed to run a small business: estimates, invoices, budgets and contracts are now a part of my daily routine.
