ASHLEY CARDOZA for May Designs
Today’s creative culture is constantly changing. A graphic designer is no longer stuck behind a computer or dark room. Designers are stepping outside, crafting, blogging and using different mediums to create. Between Pinterest and Instagram, everyone has become designers or photographers. Head to the blogging jungle, you’ll find even more creatives. Thanks to the ever-addicting legal crack, Instagram, I found May Designs. What made you stand out to me was the quality of your notebooks. I am a big time notebook collector, to-do list advocate and paper-goods junkie. Here’s the deal. I am currently employed in The Woodlands as a Graphic Designer at Woodlands Church (formerly known as Fellowship of The Woodlands). I am ready to make the creative leap to a company that excites me and will challenge me to think outside the box. Plus, I work with a bunch of guys who don’t like talking about outfits and why the number of layers and patterns I am wearing works together. I've had my hand in many different creative projects. My experience is not limited to the basic print design. My resume will go into further detail as to which programs I am well versed in, my experience, my portfolio is where you will see my strengths in typography, image choice, and concept. If I am the elusive designer you were hoping for, I am able to start in a two weeks.
