Adobe Creative Suite 8 yrs 5.0 2008

Almost all of my projects require a combination of Adobe products (mostly Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop). I have been working with the Creative Suite since attending the Photoshop World conference in Boston, MA where it was first publicly displayed.  Occasionally print work will require use of Illustrator or InDesign, with which I am also familiar. 

I am also a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.
