Jennifer Gryczkowski’s Summary

I create designs and illustrations for numerous media. I have a natural talent for "cute" illustrations, but it's not a limitation: I can create work in many styles. I am also a programmer; I have an affinity for puzzles and problem solving. I have experimented with video editing and animation, and the finished projects have been very well-liked.

I consider one of my greatest strengths to be my ability to communicate via writing. I write for fun and I have also done professional copy editing and writing. I have experience with technical writing and writing for the web.

I am a quick learner and can adapt easily. I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a 3.9 GPA. My instructors appreciated that, even if I already knew a lot about the subject, I put effort into learning more and improving my skills. I was passionate about my studies and never turned in a project I couldn't be proud of.
