Objective

I am studying digital graphics and design at The Art Institute Of Pittsburgh. My plan is to utilize these new skills in the furtherance of a career in digital design and production. My prior experience in the drafting and construction trades taught me that it takes discipline and talent, as well as the right tools and a desire to succeed  and to excel in complex detail work, which I did and enjoyed while working in those environments. I am looking to be employed at a facility where I can contribute artistic ideas and perspectives. I am confident in my ability to provide great service, from final design to production, and I look forward to bringing these attributes to a new employer.
