As a graphic designer, I have been utilizing my skills in such programs as Quark XPress, Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat. I create layouts and designs for several magazines, ads, brochures, catalogs and books. My knowledge of HTML and CSS as well as my creative design skills has allowed me to create and maintain several websites. I am currently seeking a graphic design position where my visual skills and print design experience can be utilized.
