Specialties: • Extensive knowledge in Adobe InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6, Dreamweaver CS6 and Photoshop CS6, HTML and CSS3
• Experience using Maya 8.5 and 2011, Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Flash CS5 and Microsoft Office programs.

• Ability to learn quickly, consistently produce quality work, and think in new and creative ways.
