Vision
Bringing a package of skills specifically suited towards web design, internet marketing, and website content creation, I have maintained data and stock images for internal websites and have worked closely with marketing directors on content, layout, and overall design of all marketing tools for both print and web media. I thrive in individually-driven solo projects and in collaborative team environments in which we interrelate data and overall marketing strategy to produce one polished product.
