Hi!
While I'm not a professional graphic designer/artist by any means, it is something I've been teaching myself since I was a kid! I was fortunate enough to grow up in the age of computers and was always experimenting with online programs as a child. Through learning on my own, and taking different classes in school, I have learned various programs, which I've listed below.

Over the past year or so, I've used what I've learned to customize different gifts for friends and family. Last Christmas, I designed things such personalized Bic lighters (I created a pattern on Publisher, sized it to the right dimensions, and printed it out on a waterproof sticker so I could wrap it around a plain Bic lighter.), joke celebrity prayer candles (I used Publisher to doctor celebrity's faces onto paintings of saints, then printed them out and modpodged them onto blank candles.), and t-shirts (I created images on Photoshop then printed them on iron-on transfer paper.)
I enjoy making holiday/birthday/greeting cards as well!
Feel free to ask me any questions!
