I do my best to stay on top of the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in web design.
My primary tools include Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver (hand-coded XHTML and CSS).
In addition, I'm well versed in JavaScript frameworks such as jQuery and use Flash for animation, basic action scripting and video deployment.
Other software programs I use include InDesign, Microsoft Office Suite, SharePoint Designer and Acrobat Pro.
I work closely with developers and am very comfortable working in highly programmed environments such as PHP, classic ASP and ASP.NET
