WELCOME,
This site displays my future career goals, skills and samples of my work.
Six years ago I was a high school senior with no specific career path in mind. My art teacher realized my talent and brought graphic design to my attention. Ever since then I completely focused on becoming a creative professional. In January of 2002 I started my first semester at Borough of Manhattan Community College majoring in Multimedia Programming, which was later changed to Multimedia- Computer Art and Design. On June 4, 2004 I graduated and recieved my Associates degree. I later persued my Bachelor's Degree in Communication Design at New York City College of Technology, also part of the City Univesity of New York system (CUNY).
I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, GoLoive, HTML and CSS. I am very motivated, especially when I'm presented with creative challenges. I work well as part of a team or on my own. I draw from and thrive on many forms of creative expression. My goal is to continue to gain solid technical and design skills to in order to build a successful and challenging career.

Ms. Hermans, a bright and motivated student, stood out in my class as both visual designer and a technical builder. I have recommended her for a number of projects and employment opportunities, because of her talent, professionalism, and genuine dedication to the field of web design.

Working with Yasmin was a pleasure and was a great experience for me. She immediately captured the feel of both my business and my personality. After send her my business card and speaking with her on the phone she began to developed my web site and I was impressed and excited before it was even completed! I would highly recommend this talented woman to anyone planning to have a web site designed.
