I am excellent in Adobe Creative Suite CC (InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Photoshop.) I am also, if necessary, expert in QuarkXPress.

    Brainbench Certified Master User in Adobe InDesign CS. Transcript ID#: 327612.
    Date: 2011-02-14. Scored higher than 97% of all previous test takers.

    In 1996, I was awarded membership into the Latvian Designers' Society, a prestigious organization, who accepts members only after a jury judges their design capabilities. I am still a member of this society.

    I have worked with major brands such as Oracle, IHG, FitBit, M&M, Mars, Snickers, Whiskas, Lipton, Merrild, Sheba, Samsung, Tramontina, HP, L’Oreal, Lancôme, Renault, Mazda, Jaguar and Adidas. My skillset includes creating corporate identities, logotypes, stationery, brochures, annual reports, magazines, catalogues, flyers, business cards, posters, and presentations for exhibitions and events.

    Although, I have worked on the creative end of producing ads, I currently enjoy taking creative works and fastidiously preparing them for production. I feel that I have the advantage because I have worked on both ends of this process.
