I'm Vanessa Black, a motivated and resourceful graphic designer and social media marketing specialist with a strong proficiency in Adobe software and extensive hands-on experience in creating engaging visual designs, including print ads and graphics. I thrive in fast-paced environments and excel both independently and collaboratively.
Originally from Columbus, Ohio, I've been immersed in the arts, particularly dance, from a very young age. I began ballet lessons at just three years old and went on to earn my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet from the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music, with a minor in Marketing. After graduation, I moved to Dayton to join the Dayton Ballet as a full-time dancer.
In April 2022, I retired from professional dancing and transitioned to a career as a freelance graphic designer. I further honed my skills by earning a Certificate in Design Processes from Sinclair Community College. Today, I am focused on combining my artistic background with my expertise in visual communications to create compelling and impactful designs.
