My History of Layout Design

My layout design career started very early, when I became first a layout designer, and then the layout editor in chief of my high school newspaper, called “The Inkling”.

When attending college, I became a layout editor and eventually a specialist layout editor for various projects, but mostly “The Argonaut”, also the university newspaper.

In my freelance career from 2012-2018, before going to work for various software companies, I also did layout design in a variety of capacities and mediums.
