Hello, just a little ditty about me!
Toni Shandel Hausmann
I am a graduate of the Bachelor of Fine Arts program with a focus on Graphic Design at The Art Institute of Washington in Arlington, VA and I also hold a Web Design Certificate from MiraCosta College in Oceanside, CA. During my college experience, and as a freelance designer, I have gained valuable experience designing advertising and marketing material including brochures, logos, posters, advertisements, product packaging, Websites, photography, magazines, mailers, books and booklets. I am proficient with industry-standard software including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Muse, Flash and WordPress.
I take great pride in the design work I create and always strive to deliver an effective, focused, and on-target product that fits my clients needs and goals. I am a creative, reliable, hard-working designer who can work well in a collaborative team environment or individually. I work well with clients and consider myself a strong communicator, presenter and listener. My career goals are to continue to learn and grow as a graphic designer while utilizing my creativity, knowledge, education and people skills to benefit my employer.
