A bit about me...
I have 3 years post-secondary education in Graphic Design at George Brown College in Toronto. Prior to working as a freelance graphic artist and motion graphic artist at The Weather Network, I spent 15 years as a professional Theatre technician and occasional set and lighting designer in my home province of Quebec, and later, in Toronto.
I have earned a reputation having excellent communication skills with a knack for teaching others.
While at The Weather network, I gained extensive experience in Broadcast Television motion graphics, using After Effects, Maya and the VizRt suite of real-time television 3d graphics applications (VizArtist, VizTrio, Viz Multichannel and DataPool). I was the lead graphic artist using VizArtist/Datapool for the long-term SD to HD conversion project, re-creating graphic products and animations in high definition format.
Over the last several years, I have become highly proficient in the use of the Adobe Creative Suite.
I love illustration and classic drawing and painting, but don't get a lot of time to indulge in that.
Lately, I have been educating myself more intensely in responsive web design, creating my own site, and a few clients sites, using Coffee Cup's Responsive Site Designer and Responsive Email Designer.
