<br /><br />
Hello! My Name is Rene Martin, or Martini, as some of my colleagues call me. I am a Print and Web Designer based out at Los Angeles, CA, and I've been working in this field for about four years since graduating from <a href="http://www.lmu.edu">Loyola Marymount University</a>. Currently, I attend <a href="http://www.smc.edu">Santa Monica College</a> as means to continue my professional development, as well as polish my skills in web programming.<br /><br />
I believe a <a href="resume/index.htm">well-rounded professional</a> is a must to be in today's multifaceted job market that demands a high level of expertise and diversity from us professionals.<br /><br />
Aside from my professional background and skills, I am really a mellow person. I enjoy <a href="portfolio/index.htm">photography</a>, overseeing a grass-roots organization, taking classes, spending time with my family, and getting ready to attend graduate school in the spring of '09 with a Masters in Library and Information Science.<br /><br />
I feel extremely blessed to be able to spend my days designing and feeling/being creative. To me, a job should feel like eight hours of pure playtime!</p>
