Margarida Girão’s Summary

I have years of hands-on experience at creating/optimizing web graphics, designing navigable sites, translating Web Design into a pleasant and easy-to-use online experience.
On top of that, my computer skills have made me invaluable at colour and image correction, illustrations, and troubleshooting.
Being in various organizations along with other experiences, including working as an interactive teacher and as digital magazine editor/producer, give me strong skills as: organization, writing, multi-tasking and communication.
One thing this PDF can't show you is that I'm a NICE girl. I even get fan mail from customers and workmates :-)
