sUMMARY |
I have completed several graphic art campaigns for various non-profit organizations and small businesses. I continue to work on freelance and voluntary opportunities for the community.
I developed and organized an entire production art department for a screen-printing and embroidery clothing manufacturer in NC. I have successfully trained many in the Adobe Creative Suite software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and inDesign, digitizing techniques with vector art for embroidery, and how to most effectively prepare art files for screen-printing. |
qualification |
I prepare all design files with great efficiency. I understand that design is only one step in an entire process. Being from a production artist mentality I work quickly, accurately, efficiently, and well with others. I have knowledge of product presentation and client communications. I have applied my research with clients to creating branding and identity packages.
I developed a strong foundation in design, color theory, typography, the principals and elements of design, the language of art and design, and a deep understanding of what is actually observed in the world - an eye for detail. I continue to learn new skills. |
