James Hamilton’s Summary

I'm a freelance multimedia designer and web-content producer. I'm an expert in the Adobe Creative Suite. I have experience producing print and web ads, flyers, annual reports, guidebooks, handbooks and workbooks. I've also typeset words, mathematical formulas, tables, tab charts, pie charts, flow charts and digital illustrations.

The bulk of my experience is in print and I consider myself an expert in that area. I'm currently expanding my skill set into web and interactive design. I'm also increasing my concentration on photography.

I plan on expanding my freelance business this summer when I sell my house and begin traveling full-time while tele-commuting.
