About
I have a record of outstanding success in the design and development of traditional and electronic media for over 20 years. My expertise encompasses a wide range of disciplines including the design and production of highly effective printed marketing collateral, presentations, motion/video and accompanying or standalone digital solutions. My background includes extensive experience in a number of key applications as well as experience with project, production, personnel and asset management.
Over the course of my career I have effectively conceived, designed and produced work for a vast range of market segments ranging from health care, manufacturing, government and the financial industry. This experience has given me a keen insight into the unique requirements necessary to appropriately gear the solution toward the target audience.
I am comfortable on either the Mac or PC platforms, fluent in the Adobe CC design/video Suites, MS Office as well as various online productivity applications. Prior experience in web development and productivity applications. -
