About

I’m Gregory Ledger. Currently I’m a senior Mac production artist for a publishing company in Illinois. I have been in the graphic arts industry for over 2t years. I’ve done writing, editing, designing, prepress, and now production art. I’m keen on solving problems and improving efficiency. I also like sharing my experience with others. My two current interests are Applescripting and XML. In my spare time (heh, heh), I like music festivals and concerts, exploring the wild food environs of Chicago, and learning more about information architecture.
