Profile

Creatively motivated, yet pragmatic and strategic visual design professional with a diverse experience connecting outstanding creative marketing ideas with efficient and effective production resources. Demonstrated design skills utilizing visuals, typography and color. Quick to embrace existing client branding, though also known for presenting unique and challenging options. Experienced in extending brands across multiple production formats. Skilled at listening to the client’s ‘wants’, but delivering on their needs. Consistently realistic in regards to production time, cost and value. My philosophy is simple - Though great execution may improve poor creative, poor execution will surely kill any creative effort. Effective creative efforts must have a balance between great ideas and realistic, affordable execution. Extensive production experience in project management, vetting/developing vendor partnerships, budgeting and price negotiation, project logistics, as well as client relations and establishing deliverable expectations. Advanced experience with Adobe Creative Cloud, specifically, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
