I’ve worked with printers and production companies all over the world on a variety of projects as well as co-managed an in-house print shop. I possess expert knowledge in the use of a variety of desktop publishing software to create unique multimedia presentations, web pages, visual products, illustrating concepts, corporate logos, and brochures. I am a flexible team player with a creative flair, originality, and strong visual sense who works well under stressful, deadline-specific situations.
