EXPERIENCE
Since August of 1991, I have been involved with numerous agency and freelance design projects. These projects include designing various printed promotional materials, CD and cassette packaging, photo retouching, designing website graphics, coding HTML, editing CGI forms and javascript, maintenance of e-commerce accounts, and editing digital audio and video for multimedia projects. I have been responsible for project management from concept to delivery.

I have always maintained an interest in new media technologies and the potential for their application, including a continuous involvement in creative projects, both experimental and practical. I continuously work to strengthen both my traditional artistic skills in painting, ink drawings and music as well as my knowledge of current trends in multimedia and online distribution practices. Having such diverse experience has allowed me to gain a better efficiency in project management.
