Resume

I am currently working for WHP Trainingtowers, as a Graphic Designer, 3D Visualizer and Marketing Assistant. I have the opportunity to create, design, and build for the number one fire training tower company in the United States. I am passionate about Digital Media, Traditional Art Mediums and Skateboarding. I enjoy digital mediums, such as; Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchUp and Microsoft Office Software. I take progressive ideas and create dynamic images in the most efficient way, without sacrificing design. I love using traditional mediums, such as; oil/acrylic paint, colored pencil, graphite, charcoal, and various printmaking techniques. I have been skateboarding since I was six years old, it has taught me a lot about having determination to achieve the impossible, commitment to see every project through and how people connect and collaborate. I surround myself with people who are equally as passionate about their work as I am. I understand the needs of progression when taking on big projects while collaborating with others.
