Bio
Matt Shakespeare, M.A.Ed, PMP, SSM
I have worked with Fina for several years now. originally, we hired her to support our project as a graphic designer. while she performed exceptionally as a graphic designer and showcased great skills, our project needed more support in E-Learning development. Fina took it upon herself to learn Articulate Storyline and soon after was outperforming even some of our more senior developers. Fina not only brings great skill and the ability to learn quickly on the fly, but her attitude and positivity really make our team better and she is a pleasure to work with. Fina will be a great addition to any team.

Fina offers excellent design skills and her work ethic is superb. She has designed many graphic communications for me and offered creativity within the parameters she’s been given. Her work ethic goes above and beyond and she’s always made sure I got what I was asking for. I highly recommend Fina for any graphic and digital design needs you may have!
