Skills & Experience
The work I have been tasked with over the last 25 years as a professional graphic artist has varied so significantly that I have developed a wide array of skills, as well as highly efficient production methods, and the ability to handle multiple projects, while meeting every deadline. As a result, I am often considered by clients to be very versatile, like a one-stop-shop for all of their graphics needs, thus typically reducing the need to involve more than one person to handle the job. The breadth of my experience during this time has resulted in the following set of skills (please click on the + signs below to view details about each skill):

Education/Training
Though I started working as a professional graphic artist in 1999, I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2001 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communication (Graphic Design/Illustration).



Shortly after, I decided to further clarify my career direction by completing the Internet Technologies Fast Track Program: 10-week course, Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm (300 classroom hours) at Centriq IT Training in the Fall of 2002 ( https://centriq.com ). This program was like a sampler platter of all things website design at the time.
Software Experience
I am a very fast and enthusiastic learner and I welcome the opportunity to learn new software and production methods. Although I’ve mastered many programs during my career, below are the ones I currently use the most:
Photoshop | Illustrator | InDesign | Adobe XD/Figma | Dreamweaver | HTML/CSS | PowerPoint | Wix (Web Design) | Premiere Pro (Video) | Nuendo (Audio)
