In addition to my other professional experience, creative design has always been a passion of mine. I love design. I cherish the feeling of creating designs and concepts that clients, customers and consumers enjoy and appreciate.
I understand the essence of design as a vital form of expression and creative communication with the intent of producing a desired emotional response from the end consumer or targeted audience. My professional career has provided me successful opportunities in various fields of endeavor, including sales, sales management, public speaking, writing and entrepreneurship. My well-rounded work experience has been an immeasurable strength in my design acumen.
