PERSONAL SKILLS

I am competent using various programs including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Dreamweaver, and currently in the process of learning Flash and InDesign. I have basic understanding of Adobe Premier, Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro. I am competent in programming XHTML and CSS to W3C web standards. I am also in the process of learning JavaScript/AJAX. I really enjoy computer work and have great pleasure in seeing the end results.

I have had excellent attendance all the way through school, college, university and employment. I am a great time keeper with an excellent punctuality record. I am a hard worker, willing to learn new skills and improve on my passion for design. I enjoy working as part of a team and consider myself a good team player, although I'm self motivated and have the ability to work alone and to deadlines.
