Hi! I’m Kim Johnson. 
My background in both journalism and web design makes me an excellent candidate for work in any communications or marketing field and makes me an asset to any office team. I have worked in many aspects of the field, beginning with news writing, moving to newspaper layout and design as well as magazine production and web design.
Most recently I worked for a small publication and PR firm in Cary, NC doing web design, e‐mail marketing and online ad coordination and preparation. Prior to that, I spent five years in Virginia working for a magazine publishing company. Though I started there with layout and design, I was promoted into a management role where I was responsible for maintaining the production schedule for seven magazines. Upon moving to North Carolina I continued my work for that company by moving over to the web team and remotely maintaining the web sites and producing web video and media. I also spent a year working as a writer and page designer for a weekly newspaper.
I have extensive knowledge of Adobe’s CS4 Design Premium software, including: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, In Design and Fireworks as well as Microsoft’s Word, Excel, Power Point and Access and QuarkXPress.
I am open to free-lance work in any of the above areas and am a quick study and easily adaptable to new adventures and challenges.
My husband’s recent acceptance to graduate school in the Richmond, VA area also has me on the look out for a full and/or part time job opportunity somewhere in the greater Richmond area.
