General info

Valencia, CA

I started my career in graphic and web design over 11 years ago. While gaining experience, I gradually moved over from a position of webmaster at a couple of smaller companies to e-media manager for Myriad Marketing. After a while I decided to take my chances and start my own company, Craftgrafix. While working as a creative director, I was able to successfully, for 7 years, design and develop multiple print and web projects. Working closely with several travel companies, I accepted a position of E-commerce manager for Brendan Vacations in 2008. I continuously and successfully manage the development of their website and e-commerce department.
