HELLO, MY NAME IS JILL DARLINGTON-SMITH
A SHORT INTRO, WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU Graphic design is my passion. I create dynamic design solutions to promote business products and services creating a more magnetic brand to attract loyal customers. I craft captivating visuals delivering style, creativity and simplicity in a concise and powerful message. I embrace the challenge each new project brings, as it represents a new opportunity to communicate employing the human factors of psychology, user interaction, and the user experience. Having 20+ years design and marketing experience is not enough for me. I continue to learn and explore new technology and software, and never stop evolving as a designer and communicator. Digital Design Diploma from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, PA, honors 2006 Bachelors degree in Business Administration from Central Michigan University, 1983
