Very strong on Macintosh platform (Yosemite), but can work on PC as well. Decades of experience in Photoshop, Illustrator and QuarkXPress. (currently moving to InDesign as that is the industry standard). Proficient in Dreamweaver, Flash and also currently learning the new Adobe CC2014 programs.

HTML and CSS coding skills for use in designing websites. Basic understanding of Javascript, JQuery, and ActionScript. Understanding of back-end databases and when the need for an additional programmer is needed.

Familiarity and experience with various types of printing processes from designing, budgeting and buying.

At one time I was on the cutting edge of technology, was working in a variety of programs such as Adobe Premiere, Authorware, Director, ProTools and a host of utilities. I took about 10 years off to be a fine artist and while I continued working in print it has become necessary to refresh my web skills. This is why I have been in school for 2 years now and once again I am designing websites.
