Managing a team of designers and art directors while guiding and shaping the creative direction for the world’s largest credit union.

Revolution3 is a triathlon event company. My responsibilities were to oversee the art department, consisting of a team of junior designers, interns, and print managers - with the goal of developing and expanding the Revolution3 brand in America while gaining new customers. I personally worked on the graphic development of a myriad of creative products. Those products spanned a wide spectrum from print to web to video; and included: magazine ads, racing kits, vehicle wraps, websites, medals, marketing collateral, business cards, posters, clothing, video motion graphics, and much more. I coordinated and oversaw the in-house print shop. Producing marketing materials, event signage and banner graphics. Providing accurate time and cost estimates for each tactic. When travelling to the triathlon events, I acted as a media director, coordinating photographers, streaming video, live website updates, and the operation of a jumbotron screen.

Fishbowl is focused on marketing for the restaurant industry. While there I personally worked on the graphic development of websites, email marketing, and print materials. I interacted with copywriters and coders to develop creative concepts and executions of assigned products. I worked closely with account executives to schedule and monitor all projects. I participated in creative meetings and presentations to clients. I assisted in the hiring, evaluation, education and development of junior designers.

At Galaxy Music I was responsible for all aspects of advertising for the company. I worked on the graphic development of several products including a weekly music catalog, print ads, and marketing materials. I layed out the weekly catalog and designed client ads. I worked directly with clients, soliciting advertising, and getting artwork approved. I coordinated weekly press checks with the local printer. I worked on the creation of several album cover layouts and designs. I coordinated with the billing department and account executives to ensure proper budgeting and ad sales.

At GWA I was responsible for developing newspaper and magazine advertisements for national and local clients including John Deere and Sea-Doo. I worked with account executives to review creative briefs and approve all projects. I participated in creative meetings and presentations to clients.
