    I have very good intermediate level skills in graphic design, which includes being proficient with Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. I gained these skills from college level training and workforce experience as a graphic designer and prepress operator. I have also been doing portraiture and illustrative art for the past 16 years. I use the skills I learn in college and through research to hone in my style and technique. Outside of genuinely enjoying client care, I adore filling sketchbooks to the brim with faces or objects that speak to me. They can be an actor, a family member, someone I see on the street, maybe just an object, like a pigeon feather or a dropped ice cream cone. Anything that seems interesting to scribble down in charcoals.
