ABOUT ME
Iam
A GRAPHIC DESIGNER
I have always taken an interest in art and being creative ever since I was a young child. I enjoyed school projects that allowed me to show off my artistic talents.
Today, I carry much of that attitude into whatever I work on, whether it be simple documentation layout of training manuals, proposals, presentations or corporate branding.
I am also
A USSF SOCCER REFEREE & INSTRUCTOR
After being a long time soccer player (25+ years), and coaching my kids in recreational leagues, I felt it was time to try another aspect of the game.
Since 2004, I have been a soccer referee, with re-certification requirements each year. Since 2008, I certified to referee high school and junior high school soccer in Texas. At present, I started refereeing adult leagues in addition to youth club teams.
WORK EXPERIENCE
I consider myself a multi-talented individual. During my summers when in college, I worked various clerical and administrative positions because of the skills I possessed.
As I began to enter the work industry with a college degree behind me, finding the ideal graphic jobs were not always easy. Like most of us, we take whatever jobs we can to survive, building on our existing skills and talents.
Timeliness, efficiency, organization and attention to detail resulted in the start of holligraphics, and word of mouth has kept it going.
EDUCATION
I started my art education at C.S. Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan, for one year. Finished both semesters on the Dean's Honor List.
The following year, I transferred to the University of Michigan School of Art & Design in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I graduated with a Bachlelors degree in Fine Arts.
SKILLS
As stated in my work experience, I have a wide variety of skills that have allowed me to work a number of different jobs; ranging from administrative to technical, including creative design.
I enjoy being challenged with new ideas and opportunities that help lead me to developing effective solutions for my clients.
