Raeleen Monks

I am a visual communicator with a professional foundation in photography, design, and web marketing. Over the past 20 years, my career has experienced significant shifts in how visual media is created, consumed, and integrated into daily life. My role as a digital creator, visual storyteller, and marketing specialist has continually evolved alongside these changes. Staying current with emerging skills, software, and technologies remains essential to my work.

My extensive software experience currently includes Adobe’s Creative Suite (With an emphasis on Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Canva, and Affinity’s line of Creative Software. I am fluent in several web programming languages including XHTML, HTML5, CSS, and PHP, and am no stranger to the inner workings of web content management systems – with emphasis on WordPress.

I also have an amount of administrative tech experience working with applications such as Google Apps Suite, Salesforce, ShopVox, Office Suite, and a wide variety of web and cloud-based CRM applications.
