My name is Ellice Sanchez and I am a graphic designer seeking employment or contract gigs. I am looking to grow my career as a designer and gain experience from a new perspective in an environment that has a healthy mix of web and print design opportunities.

With my first freelance gig in 2008, I have experience working for commercial and federal clients as well as working as an in-house designer for most recent company. This allows me to understand that the client must always be satisfied within a budget and that I must work efficient to satisfy my own hunger for the best design possible.

I can also design for any medium. I believe as long as you have a strong design concept, it can be applied to any medium, whether it be print or web. I can manage a web project from requirements gathering phase, to design concepting and to development; this allows for a website to be developed perfectly in sync with the approved design mock-up by the client. I can also work print projects such as a brochure, logo, or business card design, from the creative brief phase, through the client revisions and final production designs.

I don’t just make things look pretty though; design is useless when not also functional. I feel that the programming end of a website is an extension of creating a great design. I enjoy developing WordPress sites from my favourite, ‘boilerplate,’ theme; I love when I can create a WordPress theme from scratch with HTML5, responsive design, custom post types and custom widget spots that work perfectly for the client’s approved website design. I spend a lot of free time looking up newer, better, easier to use plug-ins for WordPress. design.
I am eager to practice the philosophy that a strong concept can work on any medium for your company. Here are the reasons why:

• I really want to work with other creatively trained and expertised colleagues to make designs even better than they would be without team feedback.
• I really want to work on multiple client projects simultaneously to keep my brain satisfied with variety.
• I really want to work for company that values design and understands it has a function; it isn’t just the pretty stuff.
• I really want to work with a team that values the time it takes to make a great design and realizes that cutting corners can take more time than creating a design right the first time.

If you decide I am the right person for your great team, you will get a print designer, motion graphics designer, web designer and WordPress developer; I am used to stacking many hats on my creative head.

I also seek to work with people who have a valued sense of morals and ethics.
