GRAPHIC ARTIST
Texas
I feel that I'm an great asset to any company who needs a creative artist/designer to help get the project done. At work, business, church, and community services my experience has push my talent and skill to new heights. I enjoy research, development for planning and creating strategies to help me stay graphically sound in the multimedia field, but where I shine is being able to keep it personal to the customer or client taste. clonon@gmail.com 940-704-5685 mobile 940-698-9116 home
My motto is, " If you do not look good then I do not look good. I'm in the Looking good business. " I would love to work in the area of a team but I can work alone. I feel if I have all the right tools (software & hardware) to design, there is nothing that I can’t accomplish as long as the leadership is mature in their decision making. Time is money and money is time. I know that I would be a great part of any team that would like to take there establishment to the next level.
