This is why you should work with me
I have a strong work ethic and excellent follow-through. My communication skills are top-notch, and I am known for being reliable and easy to reach. I am also known for being intuitive and curious, with quickly understanding and implementing client/manager direction as a major forte.
​
I am extremely adaptable and quick to learn new skills and methodologies. I can guarantee you that if I don't know a skill (software or otherwise), give me a bit of time and I will learn. I am highly capable of self-teaching and researching solutions to any challenge thrown my way.
​
Most importantly, I believe that life is about continuing to improve myself, being grateful and optimistic, and not taking myself too seriously! I love to laugh and have a good time creating intuitive and innovative design solutions. Building good working relationships and feeling useful is what makes me happy.
