I recently moved to Austin, TX and am looking for a full-time Graphic Design position in the area. I'm currently working remotely for Velocity Outdoor as a project contractor. I’ve had a significant amount of experience in digital and print production with responsibility for layout, typesetting, product photography, photo manipulation and file management. I’ve worked on projects from the initial concept to creating mechanicals and sending to print vendors.
