ARIC WICKLIFF (see resume)
​As a person with a creative mind, I recognize my passion for design as a good thing. I believe it's a God given gift and a self-developed talent of which I'm very proud. I truly desire to to be a good influence in life using my design ability as a tool. This artistic seed planted in me has grown and I hope to inspire the growth of good seeds in others.​
​
My professional design skills are almost entirely self-taught. I have an entrepreneurial spirit that drives my "make it happen" attitude. These attributes have been very effective in my years of experience serving many small businesses and non-profit organizations.
Over the past 18 years I've developed experience in print, web, and photo design with a focus on branding. I've always been fascinated with the ability to interpret ideas into visuals. My drive is motivated by a passion for creativity and high quality results, with a clear understanding of and dedication to deadlines, budgets, and end goals. Below you'll find descriptions of my past experience in different areas of design.
