Graphic Design
I approach all graphic design with a sense of brandability and fuctionality in mind. My objective is to create something distinctively of my clients so that not only do they love it, but it helps them become recognizable in their fields by their customers and competition. I am a trained graphic designer and tend do use Adobe Creative Suite applications. This includes Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. In addition to the Adobe Creative Suite programs, I also use Corel software for my graphic design projects, if there is a request.
Web Design
Solid web design is becoming more and more important these days.
I understand client and server side languages as well as Flash actionscript and would be able to deliver an attractive, affordable web site design that would serve as an irreplaceable resource for your company. I am a trained front-end web site designer with expert knowledge of css, xhtml, javascript and dhtml. I use Dreamweaver, but upon request can also use front page or another css/html editor of your choice.
Another major part of doing business online is the ability to be found. SEO (search engine optimization) techniques allow for your site to become more visible on major search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. I specialize in re-designing and optimizing sites, problem solving, and detailing websites. Everything from major keyword implementation, alignment issues, and cross browser fixes will be handled efficiently and at an affordable rate. I can handle:
standard HTML website brochures
web banners/ads/icons
email newsletter
internet marketing
Photography
Photography is something that I have always loved to do. Although I have yet to attempt a true career as a photographer, I do enjoy capturing those moments that allow others to see my world.

Valentina did a wonderful job with my company's logo. I would recommend her to anyone that would ask. She gets back to you it seems within minutes of you sending her a question. Her ideas and creativeness are wonderful and fresh. I'm sure she can beat your deadline too if you give her the chance! My first experience here, and definitely not the last with Valentina. I wouldn't use anyone else if I know Valentina can do it.

Valentina produced the most amazing graphic designs for me. She is both highly creative and highly skilled. Not only was I extremely happy with the result, but I also enjoyed working with her, as she happily provided the best service, no matter how many revisions, ideas and options I asked her to produce. I will be happy to work with her again in the future.
