I recently graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in March of 2011. However I have been working freelance for the past two years.
I would consider myself to be more than just a designer. I think of myself as an entrepreneur that is always looking for a new idea to get involved with.
I am a hard worker, and a quick learner, which helps in all facets of life. I am a young, and talented designer with a entrepreneurial spirit.
