Graduated from Illinois State University in May 2009 with a Bachelor of Art in Graphic Design.  Studied art and graphic design.  Coursework included design, typography, photography and some web design. Knowledgeable in the Adobe Creative Suite, but always interested in learning new tools. Involved in an internship with Design Streak, a preprofessional design studio within the University where students provide design work for the school and the community.  This was a great experience, developing both design skills and client relations.

Currently working in the Brookfield Zoo Creative Services department.  The position started as a production job, but has developed to include junior design work.
