Zach Kaitz

I’m a Sr. Print Production + Mechanical Artist with 12 years of experience as a print production designer and 6 years of managing a team of designers, engineers, and installers.

The value I bring:
I enjoy building brands from scratch or working within existing style guides to extend the brand identity across packaging, displays, retail, and more. I bring my experience in every aspect of the design process from creating initial designs to managing a project through rounds of iterations and following through to production.

My past work:
At GVG my primary clients were L’Oréal and Maybelline. I’m proud to say that by 2020, almost 75% of all [US] L’Oréal skincare packaging will have gone through my hands. While at GVG, my role focused on:
• Producing print mechanicals for new and existing brands while creating lineups and layouts for retail packaging and displays
• Collaborating with art directors, print vendors, project managers, and marketing to guarantee the quality of final mechanicals
• Orchestrating print production projects from layout through development ensuring all codes, legal standards, drug fact boxes, and ingredients are up-to-date and correct
