As a designer I am driven by my love for adding style to a variety of mediums, especially for the web. I am a graduate of Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts of York, PA (Art Institute of York) and specialized in multimedia design. Through my professional experience and enjoyment of learning I am constantly expanding my skill set, which includes designing and building websites and other interactive media, email marketing campaigns, as well as the design and production of ePublications. I take great happiness in creating high-quality designs while bringing a project to life.
I have previous experience working as a designer for two large interactive companies in Frederick, Maryland. Today, I am the designer and email marketing specialist for NatureScapes.Net – The Resource for Nature Photographers. Additionally, I’ve worked independently for over seven years providing design and web solutions to small businesses.
In my free time I like to design elegant greeting cards and stationary using Adobe Illustrator, imagine, brainstorm, sketch ideas in my notebook, create color palettes, travel, and of course spend time with my wonderful husband, Adam.
