16 years professional graphic design and photography

My first love was photography, but the year 2000 brought a passion for graphic design when I was hired mid-interview as a graphic tech for the Pueblo Chieftain. My only experience was POS and flyers I'd created as a marketing assistant. I learned programs and honed design skills on the job at the Chieftain and never looked back.

I've been a professional graphic designer now for 16 years. I graduated summa cum laude with an AAS in Visual Communications, May 2014.

​Color, line and balance; visual hierarchy, rhythmn and unity; typography, fonts, kerning and leading all fill me with indescribable joy. I'm still in love with photography, but now I'm equally in love with graphic design and its Golden Mean.
