    Hi! I’m Lisa, and I’m excited to share a bit about my journey with you. I kicked things off by earning a Bachelor's degree in graphic design and gained experience in the advertising world. Then, I decided to level up and went for a Master's in education. From there, things got interesting—I dabbled in social work, did some patient education, and eventually found my rhythm in presentation design. I believe my mix of skills and real-life experiences gives me a leg up in the design game. 🎉🎉As a presentation designer, I bring your ideas to life through captivating visuals that tell a compelling story. With a keen eye for design, I masterfully blend creativity with strategic thinking to create presentations that not only engage your audience but leave a lasting impact. Proficient in tools like PowerPoint and Canva, I transform complex concepts into visually stunning slides, ensuring your message is not only heard but remembered. Let me elevate 🚀your presentations, turning them into dynamic experiences that resonate with your audience and convey your narrative with clarity and style.

    5 STAR REVIEWS - Over 250!! "Patricia brought my project to life! Excellent communication. 100% on schedule. Highly recommend. Will definitely work with Patricia again in the future!" "Working with Patricia was the best experience in my two years on Upwork. Her quality of work and communication skills are nothing short of superb. Every aspect of my project was addressed and many ideas created by Patricia herself. She is extremely creative and gifted. I owe much of my business success to her. I cannot recommend any higher." The above is just a glimpse into feedback from my clients and the experience I provide for them. I do this work because I love it. I will always get back to you the same day. I try to get back to you within minutes of a request. I work evenings, weekends, and overnight to accommodate tight schedules. My job is to make the completion of your project as easy and pleasant as possible. My motto is "The job is done when you love it." I am your one stop shop for any kind of 2D animation. A music video I animated won "Best Animation" in the Golden Harvest Film Festival in Tokyo and another was a semi-finalist for Best Music Video in the LA Independent Women Film Awards. I work in Adobe Animate, After Effect, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator and Character Animator. I have my BFA in Fine Art, and although I primarily do animation now, I started out as an illustrator and graphic designer. My first job was doing photo-editing and trade show graphics. So, if you find your company needs photo-editing, design or illustration, I can help you with that as well. I am also a professional musician. I use Adobe Audition to edit my audio tracks. I compose, record, and perform, so if you need music added or audio edited for your animation, I do that as well. I have done corporate and tech company animations, infographic animations, Youtube intro animations, Facebook, Instagram and Google Chrome GIF and html/js animations, animated logos, photorealism animations, and cartoon animations. If you want it animated, you've come to the right place. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you on your next project.

    You dream it; I can design it. I can create anything big or small. I have experience in designing for digital and for print, including ads, brochures, mailers, booklets, presentations, postcards, invitations, car wraps, and signage. If you can think of it, I can and have designed it. I also am an Adobe Acrobat expert. I can alter documents, including replacing text, photos, make fillable forms, export text, and create long-form PDFs. Designing includes both print and print production as well as digital design, especially advertising. It is not uncommon for me to implement the complete print coordination of events or programming from start to finish. This includes event sponsorship packages, invitation packages, and advertisements (both print and digital), event signage, displays, badges, and swag; I have done these types of projects regularly for over ten years. I have an eye for the details, and I know how to make it work. I also have a love of long documents. It is another specialty. They are like large puzzles that need to be pieced together for a uniform look and overall feel. My portfolio has many examples of this, from simple long documents to detailed short reports, as well as magazines that I have created. Documents can be static or interactive. I can package files to be sent to a printer or exported digitally for web viewing and downloading. I am a branding expert and have gone through many branding exercises. And then, in my role, I executed the branding from a design, style, and messaging standpoint. I have often referred to myself as the branding police due to my adherence to brand standards. Branding is not just visual, although it is a large part of your brand. I can direct you through the process correctly to get you where you can say; this is me/this is us. I can then create a visual identity that makes sense and is custom to you, and speaks to your audience. As a publications expert, I can help you decide what gives you the most impact on your audience. Determining what you need and how to accomplish your goals can be overwhelming, and I can help. I have over 20+ years of experience in assisting others in making these types of decisions. Unlike most designers, I know the process of collecting and clarifying information, as well as helping the client ideate. I can assist in making determinations regarding the best course of action for digital design and print design, then help plan and implement all aspects of the project.

    I'm a digital creator with experience building my own projects that include aesthetic workbooks, educational materials, and branded forms to name a few. My experience in restaurants makes menu design a natural flow and I've developed tools such as fillable specials menus for frustration-free execution. ✔️No more fighting with Microsoft Word to squeeze all the daily specials onto the pre-determined layout ✔️No more sacrificing branding with basic menus created in software meant for documents because it's unrealistic to have a daily graphic designer ✔️Empower your staff to learn during downtime with flashcards to keep in the service area or behind the bar with food, drink, and relevant knowledge. ✔️Restaurants & Wellness are my specialty and I bring my figure-it-out mentality to whatever project I do. 👋 If you're interested in seeing if we are a good fit for your needs, say hi!
