Graphic Designer and Photographer

Profile:
As a graphic designer, I have learned that organization is key when working on projects. I know hard work is required for all projects and that there is always something new to learn. I like to be challenged when I am working so I can improve myself and my design work. I am good at working on my own or as a team member in a group. I have spent time learning to be a leader and take responsibility when need be, but I am also willing to be a follower while someone else leads.
