I've been a graphic designer for over 20 years, and my career started in a commercial printing house. That's where I learned the practical side of design - how to prepare files so they actually print correctly. This experience is my secret weapon; I don't just make designs look good on screen, I make sure they work perfectly in the real world.
My main tool is Adobe Illustrator, and here's what I do best with it:
I also run my own small Etsy shop where I make custom chibi pet stickers. This keeps my Illustrator skills sharp, and it's been a great way to learn about managing a creative business.
I'm the kind of person who enjoys detailed, repetitive work and takes pride in getting things right. Whether it's a simple edit or a complete design project, you can count on me to deliver clean, professional work.
