I have over 20 years of experience in graphic design. During that time catalogs, publications and advertisements, both print and digital were a mainstay of my duties. I performed press checks for accuracy, color and schedule. Our print and digital material dovetailed into our online presence as well. I was part of the web team, creating and administering our website and social media presence. Lifestyle and product photography was another large part of my responsibilities. Creating unique imagery to capture the audience's attention was essential to success, particularly in a modern world where there may only be a few seconds to communicate the message. As part of all my duties, was the need to execute them in a timely manner with excellent communication between departments. Further, the volume of files was large, necessitating automation via scripting to enable large amounts of files to be handled in a short amount of time.

Industry Experience

Consumer Goods, Computers & Electronics, Education, Media & Entertainment, Non-Profit Organization, Software & Internet, Retail
    uniE621 B2B Marketing
    Working for a manufacturer, frequent projects are Specific B2B advertising. Inside of B2B, communicating ship dates, order deadlines and general availability are critical for retailers to receive product on time. These are sent out in large bundles containing all items from a particular seasonal release. These will go out in email blasts, distributed at trade shows and available for download on retailer sites.
    uniE621 Signage
    I've produced large store signage for brick and mortar as well as special events. This was for Super Bowl 54, but have made them for many Super Bowl Experience shops for the company. This required design, timeline management and installation. These designs had to follow the style guide provided by the NFL, submitted to licensing, supplied product photography, designed large format prints and installed them. #signage #events #graphicdesigner #illustrator #photography
    uniE613 Apparel Design
    While most of my career has been more in marketing and communication, I have none-the-less created thousands of socks, flip flops, tshirts and other pieces of apparel, mostly for licensed properties. This includes submission of designs for licensing approval and royalty tracking. #licensing #apparel #designer
    uniE613 Technical Illustration
    Having a background in CAD and modeling, technical illustration and modeling are among my favorite areas in design. It is critical in the manufacturing environment, where precision is mandatory.
    uniE613 Product Photography
    E commerce demands clear, uniform and accurate images. Tight process and formatting management is critical for producing thousands of images for a variety of e-commerce sites. #photography
    uniE613 Product Catalogs
    Over the course of my career I have produced hundreds of catalogs and other physical sales media. Producing print and digital catalogs requires attention to detail when handling hundreds if not thousands of SKUs. I was and am usually the photographer for these catalogs as well. Combining knowledge in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is standing for producing catalogs.
    uniE621 Lifestyle Photography
    In the modern, visually-centered world, accurate and intentional customer focused photography is essential. With only moments to communicate, images need to capture the imagination. While stock photography is ubiquitous, it lacks in its ability to tell a story unique to each company or organization. These photos stretch over many years, used for social media campaigns, show signage, in-store signage and catalogs.
    uniE613 Automation
    Automation is a necessity in many work environments. I employ platform tools with mild scripting and asset management to generate bulk art for particular projects. These projects are employed where file outputs from 500-5000 are needed where the art is largely consistent with changes in color and logos or text. It allows accurate management of SKUs and descriptions.
