Intro

my introduction

Hello I would like to take a moment to introduce myself.

I changed my career path and graduated with a Graphic Design Diploma from CDI College in 2015 with an overall 99% average. 

I am so excited to be in a design career that incorporates my life-long creative talents. I thrive on innovative design, learning new concepts and I bring solid design and conceptual skills.

My 5+ years of Graphic Design experience includes logo design; print and digital marketing material design; packaging design; corporate forms and presentations; technical spec sheets; book covers; product photography; photo retouching; videography; video editing; and student/personal experience in web design.

I also bring project management skills, a proven history of being a team player yet able to work independently, meeting deadlines, managing workflows with multiple priorities, and budget management.

My personal skills include the ability to accept and integrate constructive feedback, reliability, determined problem-solving, excellent listening, communication and people skills.

“Sandy Nickel did all the graphics and layout for our curriculum and she did a fantastic job understanding our demographic and knowing what kind of pictures to use. Sandy is flexible, and very professional. She gained my confidence right from the start when she sent me her proposal for the project. She put a lot of work into it and went over and beyond my expectations. For our next project, I would use Sandy and her services again as she is dependable, reliable, flexible and professional in her work.”
