As a freelancer working with many different clients, I am able to blend my own style of photography or video editing with the client’s style. This lets me deliver a final product that matches the client’s brand while not totally changing my own style/brand to be theirs.

In my time spent developing my skills in graphic design work as a student, I’ve learned many things. One thing I’ve learned over the years as both a professional and a student is that working in the creative field as a designer and photographer has a continuous learning curve. Other things I have learned as a graphic design student is how to make clients work in a professional way. I’ve learned techniques on how to design things to be both aesthetically pleasing and be easy to use for the target audience.

A portfolio piece that I am proud of is my final project for the Motion Graphics course I took in the fall of 2021. Developing and strengthening my skills in motion graphics is what originally drew me to become a graphic design student. The project (which was to create a “movie intro scene”) had many different elements to it that combined all of my skills, including videography, design, and video editing. It challenged me, involved a lot of troubleshooting as motion graphic work does, but it all came together into a video I am still very happy with. There are of course little adjustments I would have made if I had more time in the course, but I’ve learned in the work I do that often you need to know when to just say a project is done and deliver it to the client. Otherwise you could easily spend your life continuing to tweak and edit one project.
