technical knowledge
While
working with a software company for many years, I have had the
opportunity to use, review and write about many software programs
and hardware systems. I don't get involved in the PC vs. Mac
debates, nor the PageMaker vs. QuarkXPress arguments. I'm an
artist by talent and not by machine ... so I can use just about
any desktop publishing system.

LAYOUT
One
of my first creative directors once said you have to be able
to know how to use whatever program is on the computer in front
of you. With that advice I learned both Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress,
and currently work in InDesign. I am extremely fluent in all
programs, using each to create everything from a basic letter
to a multi-page publication.
DRAWING I work mostly with
Adobe programs, including Illustrator and Photoshop. I am proficient
in each program; however, I wouldn't call myself a computer illustrator.
WEB
BUILDING
I am
familiar with basic HTML, but don't mistake me for a web programmer.
Paired with a technical genius (and I have worked with a few),
I can create some stunning web interfaces.
WRITING Although not the most exciting
programs, I spend most of my writing time in word processing
programs. I am also versed in Excel and Powerpoint.

It seems like
every time I update this section of my website, a new technical
gadget is released that I just have to add to my computer set
up. Without seeming so out of date, let's just say I am able
to work on both Mac and PC platforms.
These
are my specialties, but not my limitations. I have a certain
knack for learning other programs quickly and easily. I am always
looking for new adventures in life -- and always interested in
new projects. Send me an email if
you think my skills, talents and experience match what you are
looking for in a freelance writer, editor, artist and designer.
