I began learning Photoshop in 1996. I have been using Photoshop professionally since 2000. I have extensive experience using Photoshop for retouching and creatively editing photographs. Layers, blend modes, masking, color correction/manipulation, and seamless image alterations have been part of my daily work. I create my own actions, brushes, and custom shapes. In my work, I have created hundreds of custom collages, cards, advertisements, product digests, and other product designs.
