JOB EXPERIENCES:
My experience in both the creative (digital artist-retoucher) and production (prepress) areas of the graphic arts field has broadened my range so I can visualize a project from its conceptual stage, through its creation, and on to its final result. I hope to still expand my knowledge of the digital field and work in an environment that allows me to continue doing the work that I enjoy. I feel that with my experience I can be an asset to many companies. If you look at my website you can see the various projects that I have worked on over the past years. EDUCATION:
