Branding My Vision
I see myself working for a design firm that focuses towards the brand identity and entities that surround that brand. Working for an agency that wants to make a positive impact on the community, both globally and locally, would be the ideal environment for me. Because I am originally from Missouri, I could find myself quickly at home in Kansas City. Kansas City is a unique environment to have such a large and strong design community, and it is exactly that which makes me all the more interested in spending at least the next three years here. I want to surround myself with people that are as energized by their work as I am, as well as giving me critical feedback to make me better. Although I am comfortable with print based work, I would love to venture more into screen based work. I have had some Flash experience, which has helped me in the building of my current website. I am sure that this is a language that I will continue to use. All media communicates a message, and design is central to that message.
