About

OVERVIEW

My strengths are to listen and understand my client's needs to interpret and provide creative, clear, practical and strategic design solutions that achieve these goals.

With over 12 years of valuable experience I possess a solid foundation in the graphic design field. I am constantly working to conceptualize, create, design and implement innovative packaging, corporate identity, advertising, sales and promotional material, catalogues, booklets and POP displays. In some cases my role also involves many project management duties, including production scheduling and developing relationships with printers, our advertisers and vendors. With particular attention to quality and detail, I have a very strong work ethic and I am comfortable in dealing with clients and colleagues. Confidence in my conceptual abilities and production knowledge has me seeking a more challenging and creative position. I am flexible, organized, energetic and experienced in all aspects of design, from concept development to planning and directing photo shoots, pre-press and production, to approving the final product on press.
