My Skills

A Little About Myself.

Graphic / Web / Interactive Designer

Hello, I'm Lisa Watkins and this is my portfolio site. Thank you so much for taking the time to look around! I am a recent graduate of Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Interactive Media – Web and Application Design. I also have an Associate's Degree in Multimedia from Illinois Central College. As a result of being a multimedia major at two institutions, I have learned a lot of different methods of design that span various mediums such as photography, graphic design, video editing, video composition, web design, and app design.

My passion for design started when I happened to learn about Adobe Photoshop on the Internet when I was just in sixth grade. As the programs themselves evolved over time, so have I as a designer. This is one of the main reasons why I love what I do because there will always be something new to learn!

While at Bradley, I gained experience through three graphic design internships with the Peoria Chiefs Baseball Club, Peoria Rivermen Hockey Club, and Bradley University's Wellness Program. I learned a lot of invaluable skills from each of these organizations and it was an honor for me to be a part of each and every one of them. Currently, I am seeking a full-time graphic design position.

Please take a look at my resume below and feel free to contact me via email about any of my skills. Thank you for viewing my portfolio and I hope to work with you.
