About Me.
I have studied graphic design since 2005 and have been in education since 2012. I appreciate your time in reviewing my portfolio and encourage you to reach out if you are interested in working with me.
I am TEA certified in English 7-12, ESL, and Technology Applications in addition to having a bachelor's in Educational Studies and an associates in Digital Media Technology. I have worked with both pre-school and high school age groups and have a vast knowledge of education, classroom management, and professional communication.
​
As a graphic design teacher, I have prepared numerous students for certification in Adobe programs including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Animate, and After Effects. I am well versed in the Adobe suite and have a passion for design.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy time with my wife of 7 years, our pets, and my 18-year-old daughter. My hobbies outside of designing include writing, watching hockey, and retro video games.
I have a true passion for both education and design and I hope that is reflected in the work you see throughout this site. Thanks for visiting!
