Hello,
My name is Chris Brightwell, and I am a Graphic/Web Designer and Front
End Developer. I am expert-level with HTML, CSS and cross-browser
optimization, as well as the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop,
Illustrator, InDesign, etc). I have Javascript and jQuery experience.
I have been a designer for over 20 years, and have developed many
skills in the field in addition to design and development. They
include management, SEO, print production (large format, magazine
advertising, signage, book), systems administration, quality
assurance, video editing and production, and others.
I work well with other people, and my greatest skill is the ability to
adapt to any environment and learn nearly any skill quickly and
efficiently.
You can view samples of my work at my online portfolio:

If you feel I would be a good fit, please let me know. If you have any
other opportunities, I would be very interested in talking with you. I
am including my resume, and look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you!
Chris Brightwell
