Curriculum Vitae
As an artist, a lecturer, a graphic designer and communication specialist, I am including my curriculum vitae. As a lecturer, I specialize in historical process photography, black and white darkroom photography. As a graphic designer I work well with a team or on my own, within guideline or outside the box. In communications I love being behind the camera, creating artwork for DVDs, videos, educational content and editing video.
