Welcome to my online design portfolio. This section of the website is designed to showcase my skills in the fields of photography, graphic design and website execution.
I am familiar with many of the current applications used in web and graphic design, listed below under Skills. My past experience in the financial IT area has provided me with excellent communication and problem-solving abilities, and has prepared me to quickly comprehend concepts and programming languages. I have also learned to listen to what a client needs, and to translate that into a website that represents the client's corporate identity.
My work with Susan Peel Video Productions has encouraged me to explore the more creative aspects of my personality, while also challenging me to develop more exciting video designs and cover graphics.
The portfolio is divided into four categories:

This page displays some examples of websites that I have created or modified. It includes a design mock-up that I worked on as a contractor. |

As part of my work with Susan Peel Video Productions, I design the DVD covers and faces for the projects on which I work. This page shows various examples. |

This might also be called "Fun with Photoshop". These are some of my experiments when I let my imagination run wild. |

Although not a professional photographer, I do enjoy composing a good picture. I especially enjoy Nature and Travel photography. |
