ave years of Graphic Design experience and am proficient in the following Adobe software: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. I have had the opportunity to build, help design, re-design and maintain numerous sites and am looking forward to working on more, potentially yours, soon. I have also been working in and around photography, advertising and marketing for 6 years. Starting a college magazine at Eastern Illinois University, taking over the ad campaign as well as taking on the Graphic Design Editor position, then moving home to Mason City to take over the high school yearbook and start my family.
