I’m an experienced graphic designer with ability to see multiple projects through from conception to production on time. Personable and collaborative, I can conceptualize a client’s needs from big picture into finished product.
My proficiency in each skill (drag left to scroll)
I’ve been using Adobe Photoshop since version 1 and am a former Adobe Certified Instructor.
I’ve been using Adobe Illustrator since version 3 and I was a contributor to Steve Bain’s Fundamental Illustrator 7.
I’ve been using Adobe InDesign since version 1 and before that I cut my teeth on Framemaker, Pagemaker, and QuarkXPress.
Along with Filemaker Pro, Excel is the most important tool I use for political data analysis and resource allocation.
I’m a big picture person who looks at the entirety of a project. When necessary I challenge assumptions and enjoy lively debate.
I’m a better editor than writer, but I've written hundreds of direct mailers, emails, and articles.
I’ve designed numerous websites, but I do not consider web design to be my strong suit.
I’m familiar enough with JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL to work my way through any problem, but web programming is not a primary avocation.
