I'm originally from California where I took several courses in graphic
design, both at the high school and college level. I have been an avid
user of CorelDRAW since version 4, my interest being mainly a hobby
aside from my regular job as bookkeeper and manager of my husband's
painting business. I operated a small design business out of my home
for a few years designing logos, business cards, and advertisements
for small businesses in the area.
I have recently rekindled my interest and upgraded (again) to
CorelDRAW 8 after becoming intensely interested in web graphics and
web page design. I now host my own informational web site for the
tourist community I live in, and offer web design and hosting services.
