  • Description
    I am an innovative graphic designer dedicated to providing creative breakthrou gh solutions that enables my clients to elevate their brand by giving it prominence . I find the right words and images, and arrange them with a graphic vision and personalit y, to create meaningful communicat ion. My philosophy is designing is more than creating pretty pictures, first you need to make it smart then make them pretty. Good design is purpose driven with measurable results. It should inspire, motivate and educate. My experience includes 15 years’ worth of commercial print-base d work by either designing, finishing, direct mail or running a printing press. My areas of specializa tion include: project management , logos, typography , brand identity, brochures and promotiona l material. Print design includes: brochures and sell sheets, corporate presentati ons, newsletter s, advertisem ents, business cards, along with display and interactiv e media design. I have been working as a freelance Graphic Designer for the past 8 years while continuall y keeping up with the latest technology and learning the latest software available. My expertise spans more than just creating compelling designs; I also specialize in end-to-end project management to ensure that the designs created achieve your desired outcome. I work with you to evolve your ideas from concept to finished project. I pride myself on developing a close relationsh ip with my clients to ensure we design and produce the optimum product together to promote their business. My education consists of an Associates of Applied Science in Printing & Publishing and a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communicat ions. From the Printing & Publishing program I learned all the steps of the printing process— from the creative constructi on of printed material, to integratin g all forms of print, to a digital, cross-medi a environmen t that includes understand ing customer service and estimating . I learned how to perform scheduling , preflight files for production to ensure that they are properly assembled, and apply color management to proofing to be sure a printed file will meet customer and industry requiremen ts. From The Graphics Communicat ions program, I learned working with industry-s tandard software (Adobe Creative Suite) how to create projects for print, web and multimedia platforms. Applying graphical skills in the printing industry, as well as design, management , and business concepts and skills. Other required courses in marketing, communicat ions, computer science and art ensured a balance between the world of business and the world of digital media. I minored in Business Management , which taught me to develop skills in setting compelling organizati onal goals and in leading others to effectivel y and efficientl y use resources to achieve those goals. My internship required the involvemen t of profession al work experience in my field of study. I was hired as an unpaid intern at Stuff-N-Ma il Inc. Within 1 month I successful ly turned it into a paid internship . By implementi ng an in-house graphic design and digital print department , and penetratin g new market areas; I successful ly increased sales by 30% over a 9-month period. I was awarded best internship accomplish ment during graduation . I am confident enough to acknowledg e that I possess the unique blend of designing acumen, multiple projects experience , and the creativity that a good artist should possess. My experience has led me to emerge as a mature multimedia designer, especially grooming my expertise in what may be encountere d during the graphic design process and developing solutions to produce the most valuable outcome for my client.
