The software I have used most extensively include Maya , Pixels 3D, Bryce, Poser, MojoWorld, Infini-D, Cararra, Mimic Pro, Amadeus Sound edit, Adobe Premiere , Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Media Cleaner Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator , Adobe GoLive, Claris Homepage, Adobe Image Ready and Image Styler, Macromedia Flash as well as experience in various other software packages. As a Designer I believe it is important that every aspect of the field be thoroughly investigated and experimented with, in turn making me more complete, proficient, and knowledgeable in my chosen field. I enjoy all of the areas of Conceptual Design and Teamwork, as well as drawing and painting.
