Why, hello there! Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I am an artist and designer who has been working as a Graphic Designer for the past 15 years. I am seeking a fully remote opportunity where I can put my myriad of skills to good use!
I'm diligent, detail-oriented and go (perhaps a little too) insane over the small details. At work, I am fast, efficient, and have a great track record for accuracy. If someone has a specific vision, I do everything I can to make it happen, and am not afraid to ask questions or research something intensively to see it through. I have proven capable of working well both within a group and autonomously, including on a remote basis. My PowerPoint skills have leveled up considerably over the past two years, and I love bending (okay, breaking) programs to do things we never thought possible with them. I'm always interested in learning new things and have attended (digital) conferences for the past 5 years in pursuit of knowledge and inspiration.
My hobbies are a vital part of my life; many others will not freely admit to being a cosplayer or costumer on a public platform. I look at it this way - it shows that my hobby helps me to think of design projects three-dimensionally, and I am skilled at working with my hands!
Let's move on to the formalities…
