I wanted to join RGD to become more involved in the design community. I would like to network, help contribute lessons learned from my experiences, and learn from others as well.

I also believe becoming certified helps with clients recognizing you as a trusted source within the design industry. This means the expectation is that you are paid fairly for your work, and that the work you provide will meet high quality and ethical standards.

To me there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone bring their company or business to life through the impact of design and visuals.

I find the diversity of each project I work on an exciting opportunity and enjoy the entire design process from start to finish. I take pride in my ability to develop clearly communicated design, focusing on a positive user experience on all platforms. I am known to ask a lot of questions, but it's because I care about the end result and I want it to work and be efficient for the user.

I look forward to helping lending design advice. It didn't seem like long ago I was just entering the design world, and I could have benefited from a mentor who was willing to give me advice on starting my career.

I always find each new opportunity in the design world exciting, and so I am sure five years from now I will still be heavily invested and in love with the design industry. Currently, I am most passionate about branding and motion design.
