This was a project I did for a trucking company. I made recipe jars for the salesmen to deliver to their clients over the holidays. Attached to each recipe jar was a little thank you note. This was on one side, the directions on how to make the brownies was on the other. The image was downloaded from their website, cropped, and re-colored to work. The original file was done in MS Publisher however, in order to make it work in my portfolio, I had to save the image as a .jpg.

This is the format that I as a Jaycee used to plan the Easter Egg Hunt in 2006. In it you will see all the stages of planning including a budget. I won awards at both the local chapter level and the state level for this project. The chapter itself did not have any funds for the project so everything was solicited, most of it by myself.

I was contracted to write a "frugal" parenting blog and chose to write about how I furnished a nursery with just $200.

I created this flier to advertise the 2006 egg hunt for the Grand Rapids Jaycees. I was the project leader for this and ran it from planning to execution. The flier was used again the following year as you can see from the date.

Even though it rained we had a lot of attendees

This is a PDF report I created a while back to explain the hard work that goes into each and every transcript I produce. It contains a bit of humor, but is informative as well. This also showcases how graphics can be used in a document.

I helped the author of this e-book on acne to format his book and proofread it as well. We worked together over a period of time, he added and subtracted content and made revisions until he was happy with the finished product. It started as a Word document and we converted it to PDF. If you happen to purchase his book, you'll be able to see how well we did! I'm sure that the author, John, would also be glad to give you a testimonial about me and my services.

I really value the relationships I have formed with my clients. Here are some testimonials they have given to attest to the quality of service and product you will receive from me.

This is a very simple, two-person interview transcript. Each speaker is identified on the left side and the text is broken up into five- to eight-line paragraphs for easy reading. Our transcripts are always formatted to the clients' specifications, but if they have no preference, this simple format is used.

This is my very first PowerPoint presentation that I recorded with Camtasia. Unfortunately, running both programs at once kind of bogged down my computer so the recording is a bit choppy, but hopefully you can get a sense of how great it looks when running smoothly! I'd be glad to send you a copy if you'd like to see it full size as well.

This is a custom made Invoice.

This is a workbook I created for a client using MS Excel, as the client requested. It contains a custom made Invoice & Estimate.

Business Card

This is another example of my business card, which I created using Windows Draw 6 Special Edition.

This is a basic manual cover I created for a client in desperate need.

This image was created using Adobe Photoshop. The parliament building was cut from a photograph and then coloured in a solid colour. It was placed upon a blue background, and finally a layer of yellow was added in a gradient from bottom to top at 50% opacity.

This document demonstrates my proficiency with Microsoft Word. The second document (sample_summary) needs to be in the same folder for the in-document hyperlinks to work.

This is a sample of a data entry project. DO NOT RUN THE MACRO! This .xsl file displays the end result of running the macro. The project began with importing the email addresses from a Word document. The macro then copied the email addresses to the second column, converted them to hyperlinks, and opened each of the web pages. The rest of the data was entered manually from the websites. Coding the macro notwithstanding the entire project took one hour to complete.

This is a sample of a database project. The .zip file includes a Microsoft Access database, a screen capture of the interface, and a .bas file containing some of the VB6 code used. A plain text file of the VB code is included for those who cannot open .bas files.

This research was conducted for a client wanting to relocate his business to Aruba. It contains all the information the client required. This report, including all research, represents approximately two hours' work.
