    I am a Graphic Designer by trade and education, but in practice I have worn many hats with the ultimate goal of finding or creating solutions and fixing problems. Image editing, drawing, recoloring, clarifying information, creating notes and training guides and more, I've done a bit of everything to solve most office and creative tasks that have come my way. My greatest strength comes from my flexible nature and the fact that I like to insure problems do not occur or are at least mitigated as much as is possible. I have standards and personal limits to what I do and how I do it, including communication clarity before and during project. I like to think my work reflects results befitting of having standards.
