Gabriel A. Romero’s Summary

My name is Gabriel A. Romero and I am a Graphic Designer and Video Editor.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus on Graphic Design from the School of Visual Arts in New York. In addition to the skills and critical thinking that I gained from my studies, I have a few years of practical experience, both full-time and freelance, designing motion, interactive and print graphics.

I am extremely proficient in the following video and audio programs: Final Cut Pro, After Effects, DVD Studio Pro, Pro Tools, Reason and entire Adobe CS3 & CS4.
