Bio
Jeff Galliers
Harriet has an excellent understanding of Apple's products and the various applications in Adobe's Creative Suite. The combination of understanding both the platform and the software has stood her in great stead to deal with the various tasks she's been presented with. Harriet is highly adapatable, very creative and eager to learn. During our time together she took on software such as GIMP (the open source alternative to Photoshop), the page turnign conversion technology which adapts PDFs to online brpchures, and the various elements of Acrobat needed to make the conversion work successfully. When it comes to software and design I'd be happy to recommend Harriet for any task - I feel no matter what challenge she's set, she'd find a way to accomplish it.
