About Dara
 
     

I love to design. What else can I say? Growing up, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do as a career. Maybe be a veterinarian, or an oceanographer, or a journalist? But something was missing. I loved to be creative and enjoyed art, so how could I do that for a living? I’ve heard of the starving artist, but I wanted something a little more stable. After a lot of thinking – “Would I be happy doing that?” – I took the plunge and decided to become a graphic designer.

After high school, I attended college for graphic design and worked in the field for four years before going back to college for web design. Currently, I have more than nine years of experience in the web and graphic design fields, and one year of experience as a manager.

Throughout my career, I have trained other workers and taken on additional responsibilities in order to save company time and money. I enjoy working with others, as well as demonstrating and educating others in the use of design-related software. I truly find graphic and web design a challenging and rewarding career.

In my spare time, I enjoy painting and designing jewelry. In 2000, I started DaisyDee Art Studio – a company devoted to hand-painted and handmade crafts. Today, DaisyDee Art Studio host two art and craft shows each year.
