Theresa Manz

For as long as I can remember I knew that I wanted a career in art. I was lucky to get my first Graphic Designer job right out of college and have been working over 15 years in that field. Graphic design is not only a way to create art, but significantly reflects a company's image. Graphic design provides customers with a visual connection to a company. The appearance of a company is the first thing that a customer will notice. It is important to create a design that captivates the customer and gives them a clear idea of what the company represents. I enjoy creating new designs that keep the customer's interest, while upholding a style that represents the company. I am always ready and willing to develop my skills to higher and higher levels.
