Summary of Qualifications:

Manager of Artists | Graphic Designer | Print Production Specialist

Creative and Production Leadership:

For 13 years I reliably provided creative solutions for a Fortune 100, Redmond, WA-based software company. In this role, I designed interior layouts for all books sold through the retail channels in both brick-and-mortar locations, as well as through online booksellers. Additionally, I worked closely with curriculum designers to establish layout and production templates for use by authors and production staff as required.

Proven Record:

I am skilled as both an individual contributor as well as a manager of artists and designers. These skills have helped me to take my teams through transition periods requiring a shift into new, unfamiliar applications and processes for executing long document publications, organizational restructuring, and changes in creative visioning.

Well-rounded Design and Production Skills:

I am equally comfortable working on Microsoft Windows and Macintosh operating systems, as well as the use of traditional design and production methods where required. My experiences have provided me the opportunity to work extensively with many of the major graphics and business applications. I am also experienced in coding HTML/CSS and designing websites using NotePad and other text-only applications.

Experienced Freelance Designer:

Over the course of my career, I have maintained an active freelance clientele. This includes a range of projects, including; book design, logo and I.D. packages, brochures, signage, posters, and other projects. Much of this work also includes donated time to charitable organizations.

Technical Skills:

Strong verbal and written communication skills. Personable and able to communicate with designers, artists, and key stake holders. Proficient in working with a wide variety of design and business applications in both Windows and Macintosh environments, including; Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe PageMaker, Macromedia Freehand, Carrara, Bryce 3D, Microsoft FrontPage, MacOffice, Microsoft Office (MOS certified in Excel 2003), FileMaker Pro.

Strong design, layout, and production skills in books, book covers, ID packages, brochures, posters, packaging, HTML, and more.
