The body of it overal isnt too bad, but there are some things that you should definitly consider changing.

1st instead of a list of skills (Professional Profile) try writing a professional objective. that is where you tell
the employer why you are applying for the job and what you would like to accomplish. (ex.To obtain a graphic design position in which I am able to use my creativity to express visual concepts with potential for growth and advancement.) you will be able to list some of thoes skills in a different area.

2nd you dont need to put College/highschool overtop of your degree/diploma and you dont need to put pending after the date of your graduation the employer will see when you are to obtain your degree.

3rd your Exp&skills section is a little hard to understand. there are simple ways to make it easier to read. instead of listing out all of the pc&mac systems make 2 headings 1st Exp and skills then underneath technology PC/Mac and then you are able to list all of the sofware programs underneath, keeping it simple and letting the employer know that you can operate under both systems. Also make sure that your programs are all in alphabetical order and make sure that you list them all in one place nopt under different headings. this is where you are able to put in some of the other unique skills that you mensioned at the top.

4th your employment info looks ok but i would put the title of the job and then the dates of employment next to it and the rest of the info below that.

5th Also make sure that you have listed any freelance skills or accomplishments!
