March 1995 to present
Freelance work has included both corporate meetings and print work.
My strong suit is as a production artist with an eye for what looks good.
Print work consists of designing and producing brochures, newsletters
and catalogs using CS3 & CS4 versions of InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator,
on both PC and Mac platforms.
Corporate meetings include pre-production on PC using Illustrator, Photoshop,
PowerPoint and pptExtreme doing changes on-site and being show operator.
In the process of learning Keynote on the Mac, because it rocks!
I enjoy doing all of it and welcome the opportunity
to work on a project from start to finish.
I work well with client and crew; long hours go along with the job.
I love to travel and I keep my passport current.
On the schedule page is a list of future and past projects.
The following is my pre-show employment history.
