Thanks for taking time to review my work. I have decades of award-winning experience, and I am a semi-retired former design firm owner seeking remote freelance design work that doesn't involve being a manager of other people. I’m fast, flexible, collaborative, and highly experienced in delivering solutions in an array of situations and at any level. I love to design, but I also enjoy basic production and layout work. No big ego here but I have a relatively high IQ, so if I don't know it I can learn it quite quickly. I’m highly receptive to constructive criticism and could be art directed by an intern. I hope to have an opportunity to work with your team, feel free to call with anything no matter how small, thanks.
