I'm a 23 year old freelance graphic & web designer from New Jersey, USA. I started computer graphics in 1999, first as a hobby, then as a profession. The first time I used Adobe Photoshop was in my Photography class during my senior year in High School. Before that, I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro. After high school, I went to a county college to obtain an associates degree in New Media Technology, where I was introduced to the Macromedia Suite. I also recieved a certification in web development. I am currently enrolled in the Graphic Design & Animation program at the Chubb Institute in North Brunswick, New Jersey. There, I am learning more advanced aspects of the Adobe & Macromedia Suites, as well as 3D animation in Discreet 3D Studio Max.
