Graphic Designer at New Mexico Lottery Authority
Albuquerque, New Mexico Area
I've been working as a graphic designer since I was in middle school. I have strong enough page layout skills, but my real talent lies in illustration. At the moment I'm going to school to finish a degree in studio art with the intent of becoming a professional illustrator.
In addition to design I'm a competent web designer and am mediocre at PHP programming. I'm also a competent carpenter, as well as being a novice electrician, plumber and metalsmith.

I have decided to put off my graduation in the name of going out into the real world and getting a real job. Now that I have a full-time salary I'll be taking 3-6 hours a semester at night, taking my time completing the 15-18 hours I need to graduate.
