MULTIMEDIA AND INSTRUCTIONAL PRODUCTION SPECIALIST
Graphic Design is where it all started for me. I got into screen printing and embroidery in 2006 and hung around until about 2014, minus a few years for going back to school. I have put together many logos and layouts for schools and businesses and printed thousands of shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, flags, bags, hats--you name it.
But that's not all. Well...just have a look.
They're simple, but they change every year and they sell big in every hometown. I don't even know how many shirts like these I've printed. I see them in my sleep!
I make handmade soap and design all of my labels and branding. The are just a few of my recipes.
What graphic designer hasn't designed at least ONE business card, if not their own?
I place this here, only because back in my screen printing days, I stayed up until almost 2 AM at the print shop struggling to get this to come out on our screens. It was a design I put together for my boss who would often get these bursts of artistic inspiration.
Like the prints at the top of the page, I made new variations of high school athletic prints every year, keeping with the school's branding and style.
This is one of my favorite pieces that I have been meaning to improve. I think I called this world Elenaria or Elonia or something. A few years back, I discovered a little thing called cartographersguild.com where I picked up a Photoshop tutorial on atlas style map making. Needless to say, I was enthralled. And the truth is, that tutorial was the most educational tutorial on Photoshop I've ever done. If you want to really get your creative mind working, build a world.
Another map project where I took a more illustrative approach.
