| About |
After graduating from Middlesex County College, I enrolled full-time in the Communication Design program at New Jersey City University. As a college student, I learned how to solve design problems and to make the design work effectively. For instance, I created a logo for my former employer for his new multimedia/film business. He told me what he envisioned the identity should be. Based on the information given, I was able to create a logo that illustrates the services of the company. I am a Graphic Designer who listens and create designs that fit the needs of the client.
