About
I'm a freelance CAD and PCB designer in Ann Arbor, Michigan who is always on the lookout for projects, both long and short term. I've received certification in AutoCAD and design through Spartanburg Community College and I have two years of professional experience using AutoCAD, DipTrace, package assembly via DipTrace and Fusion360 as well as GrabCAD. I've worked for companies and as a freelance designer, working alongside teams and on my own and I've enjoyed every bit of it. I'm proud to offer aesthetically pleasing and functional designs with a fast turnaround rate while prioritizing my clients' personal preferences. Examples of my work can be provided upon request. I love what I do and take a lot of pride in helping to create things people can use and enjoy. I look forward to working with you and thank you for your time.

Spartanburg Community College
Architecture and design
2006 – 2008
I dropped out of high school early due to illness and received my GED before I was set to graduate high school. I received the highest GED test score in the state--as far as I'm aware, I still hold the record. I then completed a three year certification process in two years, skipping ahead with the department head's express permission and received a letter of recommendation from the department head as well.
