I am a web and graphic designer and developer from Idaho living in the Treasure Valley

I earned an associate of applied science degree in software development in 2015 and a bachelor of applied science in Web Design and Development in 2018. During this time I have had several valuable employment opportunies to gain experience working in this field of study.
