About Me

I am a Graphic Designer based in Delray Beach, Florida, but originally from Co.Kildare Ireland. I love designing, and am always trying to advance my career and learn more about the Design, Advertising, and Marketing industries.

Professional Experience

I have worked in several capacities as a designer from a Magazine design department, to an in-house designer for a National company, and a web designer producing a site a week.

Expertise

I am quite fluent in the Adobe CS trio, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I like to hand-code my sites using HTML and CSS and the latest web standards. I use Flash and Dreamweaver frequently and I am comfortable with using Microsoft .NET for coding and uploads. Like most people who spend their days in front of a screen, I am quite proficient in MS Office!

Education

I have my BA in Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida. It was there that I got the base of my design training, but I find that I pick up new skills with every project and every job. I fully believe in continuing education by keeping up with Design blogs, books and magazines. I also try to keep track of the latest trends and movements in the Fashion and Fine Arts fields, pastimes I really enjoy pursuing.

Interests

My weekends belong to Rugby, a sport I took up in College. I manage an All-Star team, and am the secretary of the Florida Rugby Union. I am a member of the Ad2 club of Fort Lauderdale. I play the violin, which I pick up from time to time, and my first order of business in a new city is to check out the art galleries.
