When I take photos I like to share them on Flickr. I socially network on Virb°. I contribute (modestly) to iStockphoto. I'm currently stationed in the midwest and enjoy problem solving, making websites, and learning new things.
Things of Interest
Photography, Apple, Canon, Acura, Web Development, Typography, Illustration, and Rubik's cube solving.
Learning
My current focus is on learning the intricacies of PHP and MySQL. I am also learning how to cook.
I learn new things at A List Apart, W3Schools and Lynda.com.
Experience
During this time I accepted freelance design opportunities for print and web that allowed me to grow in experience of graphic design and knowledge of the industry standard software (i.e. Photoshop, Illustrator) and design techniques.
My responsibilities included graphic design, banner and poster printing/finishing, weekly service captures via FCP, website design, and much more.
The internship was originally for 6 months and was then extended to a full year. After that time I was put on staff as the Website & Graphic Designer.
My responsibilities include designing and developing the James River website, providing basic support for department websites, and providing graphic design support as needed.
