Resume

Amy Rutledge

graphic designer

Skilled in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign with comparable skills in Photoshop, I create refined logos and layouts that utilize industry-standard design principles and elements in visually attractive ways. The user and audience remain at the forefront of my design process, and to ensure client satisfaction, I encourage constant dialogue.

​

My portfolio primarily contains layouts used in brochures, flyers, ads, and more. My approach using Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop can help bring your promotional vision to life.
