Hello,

Good morning. I am writing to express my interested in the Sr Graphic Designer position.

I am self-motivated and capable of managing multiple project timelines. I enjoy working directly and collab-oratively with team members to produce high-quality products. I have lead teams and been part of design teams in both corporate and agency environments.

I bring 18 years experience as a Graphic/UX/UI Designer and Art Director in both corporate and agency environments to the table. I have expert-level skills in all Adobe Creative Suite programs (Photoshop, Illustra-tor, InDesign, Distiller, Dreamweaver, & Flash). I write well-formed HTML 4/5, XHTML, CSS 2/3 that conforms to W3C standards. While I do not consider myself a “programmer”, I do have experience with Axure, PHP and JavaScript code as it pertains to front-end UI/UX design.
