What is Digital Design?

Digital design is where the magic happens. What starts as a rough idea or storyboard evolves into a polished digital creation. Using tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and more, I design brochures, logos, icons, t-shirt graphics, bottle labels, and much more.

My journey started in 2006 when I attended the Lake County High Schools Technology campus where I took Web and Graphic Design. This is also when I attended my first real world internship.

While at the Lake County High Schools Technology Campus I competed in SkillsUSA, a certified U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Intermediary.

After high school, I pursued a bachelor’s degree in web design and interactive media from the Illinois Institute of Art: Schaumburg. While attending college, I freelanced for many companies including: Pro-Active Websites, Lola Wireless, Kiwanis Club DuPage and at one point attempted to start my own multi-media company, “Loser’s Ink”.

After many years of freelancing I joined creative agencies like: Creative Circle, Creative Group and Addison Group. This opened up many opportunities including contract roles with: Society of Actuaries and Lyric Opera.
