I got my first paid graphic design gig in 2009 making an ad for a real estate agent in my neighborhood. Back then, the only tool I had was a super slow family desktop computer with Microsoft Office. It was all I knew. I even used PowerPoint as my tool of choice to make posters in high school. Seriously!

​

Years later, I got hired on at a print & sign shop and had my first legitimate experience diving into Photoshop and Illustrator which absolutely rocked my world. I was in love.  Now, over 16 years later, the spark is still alive and well. I love graphic design, and I'm still blown away that I still get to do this everyday. And the rest, as they say, is history...
