Web Designer at The Wesleyan Church
Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area
I have been interested in computers since Junior High when I first started learning HTML and web design. I continued pursuing my interest in web and graphic design by interning for Griffith Holdings, Inc. starting in 2001. My skill-set and interests at Griffith Holdings gradually shifted from Web Layout and Coding to Design, resulting in the title of Sr. Web Designer (Summer 2006). I am proficient in both Mac and PC operating systems, and the Adobe Creative Suite on either. I have been employed as Technical Assistant at my university's Mac Lab. Graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a B.S. in Graphic Design.
