My career goal is to practice graphic design, in both the incarnations of print & web, in the sports industry. As a former Neopets enthusiast, my favorite childhood hobby was coding Neopets fan sites in Microsoft Front Page with my buddy and creating web graphics in Photoshop Elements with my clunky Wacom Tablet. Although those days are long gone, I’m still oft-found coding in HTML/CSS and designing graphics, albeit using much more powerful & sophisticated software. You can see my HTML/CSS skills at work on my WordPress powered portfolio (quynhchiho.com) and blog (approvedbyqc.com). I am also well-versed in the following Adobe CS6 programs: – Illustrator – Photoshop – Dreamweaver – Audition – Premiere Pro As an avid football fan and sports ranter, I harnessed my obsession into football cartoons, which eventually earned me an invitation to contribute to the now-defunct sports blog, The Farm Club. You can currently find my cartoons at {approvedbyqc.com}. In between freelance gigs, I volunteer my graphic design skills to local non-profits, whether it be designing a brochure or giving demos on using Illustrator. Quick Takes: – Fluent in: English, French (10 years at a French language immersion school) – Proficient in: Vietnamese (native spoken), Spanish – Affiliations: FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Alumna, National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), StopNotch Films, The Farm Club hide
