My very first design job was in college for a state government agency. I had taken exactly one class on Adobe Illustrator and one on basic graphic design principles with InDesign. I still don’t know how I was the one chosen for that position. Unless I was the only one who applied, which may have been the case, thinking back on it…

I’m Jaime – a strategic brand identity and web designer. I’m also a mom to the happiest little boy alive and nine – yes, NINE – parrots. I like to joke that I am actually the nine birds in a trench coat going about my day as a Perfectly Normal Human™️, hence the blog name, Nine Birds in a Trench Coat.
