i am who you need me to be.

Want the short of it? Here's my resume. (pdf)

My life started in New Orleans, Louisiana. The art, music, and culture of the city were injected into my life for ten years and had a profound effect on the woman I am today. Art has been one of my strongest enjoyments throughout my life. As a child, I was surrounded by those who wanted to be astronauts and firefighters and all I wanted was to be an artist or a cartoonist. Finally, I discovered website design and I knew that was it. I began heavily studying the industry, the programs, and the languages freshman year of high school and my urge to learn has not died down since.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas pursuing my BS in Advertising and will be graduating December of 2008. I have nearly eight years of experience in web and graphic design. I am highly proficient in HTML, XHTML, CSS, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Dreamweaver and I'm dual-platform. If you need a print designer, I can be that. If you need a web site designer, I can be that. If you need an animator, I can be that. If you need a Spanish to English translator, I can be that. You get the point. Whatever or whom ever you need to get the job done, I can be that person. And if I can't, I know a slew of people that can.

As far as the things that won't change about me, I'm fiery and passionate about everything I do. I'm strongly independent, flexible, and open-minded. Although, I'd rather have you make up your mind about me. I hope this piques your interest just enough to want to meet and enjoy a cup of tea, so you can draw your own conclusions.
