OBJECTIVE:
Utilize my extensive experience in Graphic Design, Prepress, and the Media industry to bring great value to your organization through the reduction of cost while improving service and quality. I am self-motivated, results-oriented, with exceptional leadership and team-building skills.
In my 19-year career as a Graphic Designer, I have honed my design and management skills, and team members I’ve worked with have always complimented me on my command of Graphic Design, Pre-Press and Production as well as my leadership and “team-first” attitude.
As a Designer, I’ve worked closely with sales-team members on high-priority projects involving a diverse clientele that includes The New Orleans Saints, SMG, Tulane University, and Charles Schwab. My further qualifications include 20+ years of experience with the Adobe Suite and almost 2 decades of experience in the printing industry.
I am also a competent Photographer/Videographer and hold a Part 107 certificate from the FAA to fly drones commercially. I also hold a Class 1 Thermography certificate from ITC as well.
I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!.
