I am a graphic designer with a deep understanding of the process of website development from start to finish.

My past work experience includes working as a Project Manager for one of the most well known interactive agencies in Brazil, Ag�?ªnciaClick.

As a freelancer, the scope of my projects ranged from the installation of content management systems to the validation of xHTML code sliced from the layout I've created.
