Summary
As a professional graphic designer for over 20 years, I have gained a wide variety of experience in the graphic design field including magazine production, advertising creation, brochures, newsletters, business cards and much more. Past employers and clients include The National Middle School Association, The State Bar of Nevada, and United Advertising Publications, to name a few.
I am highly sensitive to my clients' needs. A former client stated, "It has been a pleasure working with Kim. All of us in our office have been extremely pleased with the quality of her work and her ability to take direction." A past employer referral says, "Ms. Smith is well-qualified, experienced and technically proficient."
My primary graphic design software skills include InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat.
I love the ability to both create and help clients achieve the visual representation they need.
