What is design? It's where you stand with a foot in two worlds - the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes - and you try to bring the two together.

From: Hudson Valley area of New York, antique shops, the mayor is also the fire chief, and the city folk like to come up to watch the leaves change and take my favorite spot at the diner counter
Education: BA Fine Arts - Photography, Minors- Graphic Communication/Art History 3.56 - Franklin Pierce University
AAS Graphic Design & Multimedia 4.0 - Westwood College of Technology
MA Adult Ed. and Training 3.89 - Uni. of Phoenix Online
Skills: Adobe Creative Suite (via cloud service so software is constantly updated). Illustrator and Photoshop are used more often. However I do have intermediate knowledge of Indesign and Muse. Basic knowledge of Flash.
I learn on my own where my education may have left gaps: Udemy for E-Learning tutorials to create future training courses and study code through Code Academy.
Web Services: This was made using Squarespace and serves my purpose as my print design business had picked up and got a bit busy to do it from scratch. I have built sites before in Muse because its UI is catered toward the designer who is comfortable using other Adobe products like Photoshop. Dreamweaver I use when I want to practice between Design and what I learn in code. I maintain a few facebook pages for clients and myself so let me know if you require one for your business.
