Attention: Human Resources or Hiring Manager

As the need for companies to design and graphically convey the" look and feel" aspects of their
corporate image to a selected target audience, there is a growing need for talented and experienced
graphic/web designers in the field, therefore I would like to submit my resume should a position
for Graphic Artist or Web Designer become available at your company.

I have 7 years graphics experience in the computer networking industry.
I am a dedicated team-player with excellent work ethic a self-starter
and can work with little or no supervision.

My skill strengths are in web/graphic design, production, site management and creation of
digital graphics for 4-color print media and marketing applications.

I can provide tradeshow support, packaging, preparation of graphics and marketing collateral for booth shipment.

On a personal note, I was laid off from IMC Networks in 2001 and out of work for 8 months,
it was economically necessary for me to accept a position with a company and a job function that does
not represent what I am good at or enjoy.
I would like to get back into my field of specialty of computer graphic and web design.

If you feel that a meeting would be mutually beneficial I can be contacted at the following,
