Experience

2022 - Present

While working at NewsNation, design style was focused primarily in Photoshop. Here, I was able to expand my knowledge of Photoshop while also creating more intricate and realistic photo compositions. With that, I was able to practice more clean, cut-and-dry design. Additionally, I have been able to dabble in motion design throughout my years on the team.
