As a designer, you ask yourself, “How can I make this better?” You have a masterful knowledge of typography for web and print platforms. Adobe Creative Cloud is your BFF, and memories of making the logo bigger give you migraines. You are a fantastic teammate and an even better employee. Composition is second nature. Your Instagram photos are probably frame worthy. You see impossible design requests as a challenge, not as a wall. You’re bright, passionate, and driven. You can work well with others and work efficiently when accomplishing independent tasks.
