PackagingBranding Print

I am an ambitious Graphic Designer who specializes in print, branding, and packaging. I’m a positive, hardworking, pizza-crazy, music-loving, designing machine. No matter what it is,

I try to find the humor in life and make every day one to remember. I’m a people person and feel that human interaction is a huge part of building healthy relationships. I am a very optimistic, highly driven individual. I love any challenge that is given to me, and I am always looking for another

opportunity to grow. From childhood to adulthood, I have always been excited to draw, create, and to make something out of nothing, which is why graphic design is the ideal career for me.

While working at PetSmart I make sure that the animals are happy and healthy, and that customers’ concerns and questions are answered properly.

At Lorenz, I design covers for music books. They include General Music for classrooms, Keyboard, Piano, and Handbell books. I also set up files to run on a four color press, offset press, and short run press.
