Dallas

I started in print design in 2002. I have since expanded my skill-set to include web design/development and social media marketing. Although I am currently employed full-time, I still take on regular freelance work as well. I would love to dive deeper into the area of social media marketing and would consider a change, especially if the job was in the Frisco/McKinney area.
