Objective
I would love to work on a manufacturer’s design team or complete assignments or special projects for publishers and manufacturers. I work well as part of a team and under time constraints.
Styles and Techniques
My scrapbooking incorporates a variety of styles and techniques. I typically do two-page layouts with one focal picture and several supporting pictures which lends itself to telling the story behind the pictures.
