(about) i am: experienced in print, packaging and signage design. quick-witted. teachable. organized. highly resourceful. easily amused. vertically challenged. habitually punctual. a good team player as well as an independent thinker. right and left-brained. a strong believer in not asking people to do things you wouldn't do yourself. detail oriented. a bookworm. dependable and responsible. eager. enthusiastic. a champion multi-tasker. and much to the chagrin of my husband, a bit of a shoe whore.
