On top of my technical skills and proficiency with Adobe, I also have developed my knowledge of Environmental, print and digital media. I have spent time communicating with vendors about printing materials and processes to expand my understanding of how designs go from digital to physical. On the digital side, I worked to understand the proper dimensions, resolutions and layouts of different social platforms, digital signs and websites.
