SKILLS
Adobe Creative Suite including: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro, Adobe Flash with ActionScript experience and Dreamweaver, Swift 3d (3d vector program), Mac OS X, Apple iMovie, Keynote and Pages, Microsoft Word, Excel, Entourage, and PowerPoint.
I have been working with the Adobe suite of tools for several years. I have become proficient with the Macromedia (now Adobe) programs including Flash and Dreamweaver. Being well versed in HTML, CSS, and Javascript for web development gives versatility to the position. My familiarity with layout applications such as InDesign and Quark reduces the amount of time between concept and finished design. As seen in my web portfolio, I have exceptional drawing and illustration ability. This aids design and concept development as well as user experience.
