Kathy Quinn
Advertising and Graphic Design Student
As an advertising and graphic design student I have found the path I am meant to follow. I am able to combine my interests: learning more about everything (research), creating art, and a love of words. These skills allow me to share what I learn in a creative, attention-grabbing way. I am trained in a range of design software including Adobe Creative Suite and web design. I have a passion for proofreading and I love to write copy!
As a professional I am able to handle multiple projects/clients simultaneously and I believe that good communication is the key to any successful relationship.
