After completing several George Brown College courses in Office Systems, I begun to work for a small U.S. based company that specialized in robotics, automation and graphic design systems for the textile industry. The company was one of the pioneers in distribution of innovative graphic and interface systems geared towards markets specialized in apparel promotional goods. During these years I travelled extensively across North America, setting up systems, providing training to clients and attending a number of Sporting Goods industry trade shows.
In 1997 I began a career with one of Canada's major banks, where I still work today. Initially, as a Business Specialist, I looked after maintenance of knowledge repository of internal processes and procedures. In 2002 I completed the Internet Business and Technology certification program at University of Toronto. Since 2005 I've been working with a team responsible for design and ongoing maintenance of online communication tools and business support applications. I have participated in numerous projects which allowed me to master my existing web design skills. Thanks to extensive hands-on use of Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, Java Script, XML and CSS I've gained additional experience and developed a strong understanding of successful web site planning, development and implementation.
