In My Own Words
I’m David, a dynamic, achievement-focused individual with strong leadership qualities who pays attention to detail. I have extensive military training in personnel management, inter- personal communications and logistics coordination. I am seeking employment as a Graphic Designer, to use skills in layout design, brand systems, product design and the visual arts for the benefit of your company. Having grown up in a military family, I have been exposed to an array of culture, lifestyle, and events ever since I was young. I admire how comprehensive designs to minimalist approach to products and apparel, create a passionate connection to the consumer. I have a strong interest in designing for various media platforms. I like to shoot and edit my own photos using Adobe Creative Suite programs to enhance my projects. From developing branding to creating packaging, my projects reflect that exploration between the digital and physical elements of design and how that can create a cohesive product or experience.
