Rachel Hunter
 Rachel’s education and varied work background have prepared her well for working for John and the wide range of small business types on MPS’s list of clients. A degree in liberal studies (and a minor in anthropology) helped hone the necessary multi–tasking skills required for this varying job, as did a background in design, sales, customer service, data entry, and office management. Her resume shows her jack-of-all-trades background.
Rachel is a constant continuing education student, starting her career in web development by completing classes in html, website production, and Adobe’s Photoshop and InDesign, and more recently, in search engine optimization, Illustrator and Quickbooks.
These are the skills Rachel adds to those of MPS’s:
- Design, develop and manage effective websites based upon mockups and design specifications using source code editors, CSS and DHTML concepts
- Exceptional organization and project management skills
- An eye for design and an understanding of designing for a client’s needs and objective, as well as what functions on a website

- Digital photography, including touch–up and formatting
- Web and graphic design with branding and marketing in mind
