Joseph Wagner, Multi-disciplined Designer in Rahway, NJ

About

I am an industrial, packaging, & graphic designer with proven proficiency designing soft & hard goods, the packaging they are placed in, the displays they are placed on, & the tradeshows to promote your company. I can visualize structurally accurate dielines & recommend material selection for both packaging & displays. I can also conceptualize tradeshow booths, interactive displays, & other exhibits from the structure to the artwork. Next, I can illustrate precise, detailed assembly instructions for whatever needs to be recreated, assembled, or installed. I have a strong understanding & experience 2D drafting, 3D modeling, & rendering using multiple CAD programs. I am not afraid to get my hands

dirty to test & verify the feasibility of a design. Finally, I am a leader & have led product releases from concept to manufacture in both an independent & team setting. Willing & eager to learn, I have a proven history of succeeding at advanced responsibilities while completing the task.
