Did you know?:
As a young child, I was drawn to dance. However, my dreams of being a competitive clog dancer came to a screeching halt. The papers referred to this as, “The Butter Debacle.” It was only then I decided to give this whole art & design thing a try. I would like to point out that some of the above paragraph above may or may not be factually accurate.
It was mainly to see if you were actually reading this. So… I’m a senior level created with strong UX/UI and design chops. I have 20+ years of experience, with a wide client range. I’m a driven problem solver and work extremely well under pressure. My unique skillset and diverse background can work well for your needs.
