I moved to the United States from my native country of Colombia in December 2007. I have permission to work in the U.S. I have more than 15 years of experience in Graphic Design and Illustration.
I am fluent in Spanish, my native language, and French, and I am now studying to improve my English. I have experience in design and layout of books, booklets, posters, magazines, advertisements, logos, digital illustrations, and retouching of images. In my work, I regularly use Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3, InDesign CS2 and CS3, Illustrator, Quark Express, Adobe Acrobat Professional, and Microsoft Office. I also have some knowledge of Flash, Dream Weaver, and Macromedia FreeHand.
