Experience Summary
After 10 years as a portrait photographer, having learned to correct, retouch, and manipulate photos with Photoshop, I entered the graphic design field. During the following 4 years I created Web sites, logos, brochures, flyers, mailers, email marketing, Flash animation, and a variety of print advertising projects. Currently, I work as a freelance graphic and Web designer; I create Web sites and designs for printed material for various small businesses in the DFW area.
