    ----NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS---- I have accepted a job offer of full-time employment, and will only be available during limited hours. Thank you very much for your consideration. ---------------------------------------------------------- I've worked professionally as a Graphic Designer for over a decade. Like most graphic designers, I went to school and got a degree in Graphic Design. I then spent most of my career working in Print Production Artist roles. This means two things: • I work very fast! As tight deadlines and quick turn-around were commonplace. • What I deliver is 100% ready for print production. I've also worked as part of the marketing team for Oklahoma's largest new home builder, Home Creations. While there, I quickly became the lead graphic designer and creative lead in charge of re-branding the company and executing new advertising campaigns. Brands that I've worked with: • Beltone • Washington Companies • Chick-fil-A • McDonald's • Miss Oklahoma • Miss Texas • Orphanage Support Services Organization (OSSO) • The University of Oklahoma • Genesis Reference Labs • Level Sleep • Birds Aren't Real • ...and many, many more!

    Hi! I am a fashion textile designer, watercolor illustration, coloring book and vector tracing. I have experience of more than ten years as a textile designer. My design process uses adobe Photoshop, Procreate, and Adobe Illustrator. I’m a creative, reliable, and detailed textile designer who can work independently without too many detailed instructions. My professional and dedicated attitude has earned me many successful long-term relationships with many clients from all over the world. I believe that form follows function. I look at every design project as a process of solving a problem. I consider whether a header is clear enough to read, is it call enough attention to the rest of the texts? Or whether a paragraph is eligible, is it clashing with the background, etc. In short: I made professional graphics that work.

    Freelance fashion designer & illustrator. As a professional designer, I have the knowledge to provide a high quality service to my clients. I can provide fashion sketches, T-shirt print designs, repeating prints for fabric, and Spec Sheets including all technical information for production. I have worked in the fashion design and graphics field for nine years. I look at fashion design as a complex field. The fashion field is constantly changing, and I make an effort to explore it every day. I bring different ideas, including seamless print design and accessory design, into life. Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, paper, watercolour, markers and pencils are all effective and interchangeable tools that I use to bring my designs to life. After finishing university (majoring in fashion design) and working in the fashion field, I decided to pursue further education and completed additional study in prints and patterns for fabric, and in draping (on mannequins). This further education has helped me to better envision any flat drawing I create, every clothing sketch or idea in full volume perspective. I can also help with the following types of projects: illustrations, colouring books, trend boards, prints,trend research, prognoses and mood boards in fashion field. Thank you for your time and I hope to work with you soon!
