I have 11 solid professional years
of industry experience as an interactive and print art director
and sometime copywriter. I have made major contributions to companies,
studios and individuals via print, web, CDROM and multimedia presentations
independently and on staff. I am proficient in Quark, Photoshop,
Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and other industry standard products
on both platforms.
My goal is to craft visual strategies for clients that have significant
lasting impact with their audience. I have a reputation for excellent
client interaction skills and clear, comfortable collaboration and
communication. I am extremely focused on developing a true understanding
of client/business needs and shaping my work to drive and support
these objectives.
I am seeking an opportunity where strategy and effectiveness are of utmost import.
Thank you for your consideration.
