Grammar

Throughout my 20+ years of creativity in marketing and advertising, I've always held a strict adherence to proper grammar and spelling -- both in my own writing and in copy editing for others' writing.

I keep such standards while keeping my writing fresh and interesting at the same time.

General Computer

I've used the first desktops, both Mac and PC, and have mastered the operating systems along with basic and advanced word and graphic software.
I've kept up with the internet in subsequent years, as well as with mobile apps.

Microsoft Word

I have used MS Word for 15 years and even though it is basically a word processing tool, I have stretched its design capabilities for various projects when Word was the corporate software of choice. I've also used the highlighting and notes features for team editing.

Microsoft PowerPoint

Besides having over 20 years of experience in designing and developing direct marketing and in-house corporate communications through writing, print, web sites and advertising, I've produced multimedia PowerPoint presentations with both animation and video clips embedded on both PC and Mac platforms, and have produced them on DVD for kiosk presentation.

Writing

Entering into the marketing and advertising world, I wrote mostly ad copy and headlines and the occasional pamphlet.
I got involved with proposal/PowerPoint writing and technical writing more extensively while at Southern California Edison and have always enjoyed copy editing having done a lot recently for short teaching books.
Throughout the years, I've had extensive experience writing for "for profit" and nonprofit organizations as well as writing marketing/web copy for National Public... Read More

English

As a child I always excelled in English and grammar scoring high in verbal skills in SAT and ACT tests while creating great essays for my age group.

Eventually entering the advertising and marketing design world after college, I found that besides designing ads and marketing materials, I was able to utilize my innate skill with words to write and copy-edit text and headlines and found myself writing as much as designing.

I love to mentor others with what I know and have learned... Read More

Proofreading

In my career in marketing, advertising and public relations I have both written and proofread advertising copy, proposals, technical briefs and manuscripts.

My eyes have been trained to find awkward or meaningless words and phrases to enable the replacement of cogent and engaging ones for all types of writing.

GED

I've excelled in SAT scores throughout my education and have complemented my skills and education by years of experience writing, problem-solving and designing in the advertising and marketing world. Language, the srts, writing and history have been my strong suite.

Adobe Illustrator

I've used Illustrator, as well as other vector creation programs for 20 years now.

I've kept up with the innovations in the software since then and now use CS5... but the basic skills I learned to manipulate vector graphics to create logos, charts and illustrations are still the same.

Special Needs

I've been an advocate for my blind daughter in the public education sphere, providing study resources as well as speaking to and carving out curricula and programs for her education and the handicapped, in general.

After she was diagnosed with total blindness (only light and dark vision) as an infant in 1985, the desktop computer and helpful software were only just beginning to be created. As my daughter became older and began to read Braille, we first depended on the existing slate... Read More

Web Design

I began composing and editing web pages using Dreamweaver 10 years ago and continue to use it for creating web pages that include CSS, XHTML, JavaScript, slide show scripts, video and sound tracks.

I've also designed sites beginning with Photoshop layers, slicing and converting them to CSS HTML pages.

My websites have been created for art galleries, faith organizations, financial firms, retail manufacturers, community organizations and medical clinics and have included e-commerce...

Adobe Photoshop

I've used Photoshop since 1989 when The Gaussian blur took an hour to render! Since then I've kept up with new features and tools and have retouched, color corrected and created original bitmapped graphics using this software.

Bible Studies

I have read and absorbed the Bible extensively since 1972, not only knowing where to find applicable information readily, but also to illuminate its inherent meaning -- I've learned from experience that the Bible is a living document.

I've also taken Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Archaeology in the University of Wisconsin and have learned to read basic Koinonia (New Testament) Greek for reference.

Video Production

I already have had experience with sets, locations and photo shoots and now, in the last 10 years, have art directed, created storyboards, shot and edited video productions.

My editing tool of choice is Final Cut and have also taken taken extra college courses in Film history and video production.

Drawing

I've been successful with drawing since the 2nd grade when my Still Life with Apples was selected as the cover of a national Japanese textbook for their elementary schools.

I applied myself in art through high school and majored in art at the University of Wisconsin where I did much life drawing and composition.

I continued to paint and illustrate for clients throughout my professional design career illustrating a variety of subjects for commercial and non-profit organizations...

Drums

Since taking my first drum/percussion lessons in 5th grade, I've played in school bands and orchestras, stage band, rock and jazz bands and have taught drum lessons to young people.

I currently still perform in worship bands on a bi-weekly basis playing on drum kits and hand drums/percussion.

Photography

I learned photography earlier in my life shooting and developing film photographs. Later I supervised and art directed photo crews for national magazine and catalog layouts and in the late 1990s began to learn and use digital cameras.

Since then I've amassed a large photography portfolio, have taken additional digital photography and video courses in college and have used my photography extensively for print and web applications,

Adobe InDesign

I first started using page making/layout programs in the mid-eighties beginning with Pagemaker and then excelling in QuarkXpress.

In the early 2000's I began to use InDesign for print collateral and have learned to favor this program -- especially for how well it works with and complements the rest of the Adobe Suite.

Dreamweaver

I began composing and editing web pages using Dreamweaver 10 years ago and continue to use it for creating web pages that include CSS, XHTML, JavaScript, slide show scripts, video and sound tracks.

My websites have been created for art galleries, faith organizations, financial firms, retail manufacturers, community organizations and medical clinics and have included e-commerce features.

Macintosh

I began using the Macintosh OS in the late 1980's applying it first to the magazine publishing industry. I managed both an art staff and computer systems.

Pioneered a custom Macintosh– based publishing system, digitizing publication and advertising production, greatly increasing efficiency and accuracy and reducing outside prepress costs by as much as 60%.

I also learned how to trouble-shoot, assemble, disassemble and upgrade Macintosh desktops and laptops.
