As a Graphic Designer for 15+ years I have worked in several different design industries as mentioned in my resume. Ranging from promotional material to 500-page catalogs for both web and print projects. My design skills and software knowledge in Adobe CS5 (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash) allow me to be a successful designer. I am currently learning other scripting languages such as JavaScript, Jscript, ActionScript, PHP, ASP, and JSP online.
