GRAPHIC DESIGN QUALIFICATIONS
I have been professionally designing for much of my 11-year career. I specialize in the Adobe creative suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere, and specialized formats and rendering in Media Encoder. I also teach graphic design and interaction design in Figma, the latter of which includes mobile as well as desktop UI and UX wireframing, mockups, prototyping, and site design in Figma (full pipeline). I have created or collaborated on multiple university courses for these academic and technical topics, including with head of department in digital media arts at Canisius University (with proof of work in original portfolio). I teach primarily via experiential, hands-on learning; therefore, the skills you will obtain from me are highly practical, used in industry, and involved specialized and nuanced techniques from my design career. Relatedly, I have also performed professional (commercial) motion-design projects [also present in my portfolio].
