Yes, it's finally done. Designed and build by AQ herself. Of course it will be constantly "Under Construction," but take a look. Hmmm, now I have to redesign business cards...

Introduction
After many great years at Brains on Fire I’ve headed out on my own in the graphic design business. I worked with the best there and learned a lot in the process. I'm looking to bring my well-honed production, organizational and design skills to a project or job.
Here I’ve included some background information about myself and a portfolio. The projects included here are ones that I was involved with – some just in production and some in design and production. I have lots of experience working with designers to help make their visions come to life as I’m fast and efficient on the production end.
Some of my current clients include the Greenville Chamber, North Greenville University, Greenville Hospital System and the Bob Inglis for Congress Campaign. Client teams I’ve worked on include: Agfa, BMW, Fiskars, Best Buy, Carolina First, Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, New Carolina, Yakima, Perception, Dagger and Don Pablos.

My Work
Client / Glenbrooke LLC Investment Firm: This phase of the project included logo and engraved stationery. A web site is in the works.
Client / Brandy Amidon Political Campaign
Client / ReQoop Consignment Shows: Logo variations

Team Work
Client / Best Buy: This project involved producing multiple pieces to be packed in a box of our own design, assembled and shipped to 85 different stores. My part in this project involved producing the final mechs and working with the venders to make sure the products were delivered on time. I organized all the pieces of the project and we had a box packing party to get 85 of them packed and out the door on time!
Client / St. Francis Foundation: I worked with a designer and client to get the final mech produced and delivered.
Client / Charleston Parks Conservancy - Park Angels: I worked with designers to get the final mechs produced for multiple pieces and with the printer and venders to get them delivered.
Client / Bon Secours St. Francis Health System: A designer and illustrator created the look and feel for St. Francis. I took those specs and helped create ads, outdoor and banners. I produced the final mechs for the printers and publications.
