In My Own Words

I play well with others, am effective on my own or can run a team. For the past 9 years at Stylecraft Marketing I've contributed to the design team as well as watch the Production Manager’s back. That’s the best way to describe what I do there.

My latest and most exciting responsibility was running the team of 6 production artists during our peak busy season. Whether it was simple batch file processing, retouching and color correcting product or models or helping build 200 plus page catalogs- I ran interference for the Manager and kept the team on track with the client’s needs. I also, assisted our photographer during the busy season- ran the cameras and handled the product photography for the footwear sections of our catalogs.

In short, I can do the work, I can manage the work, and I can back up other workers.

I can design a killer logo too.

I also drove the forklift and built the company gym. Bam! I'm like a swiss army knife over here!

Don't let the profile pic fool you. I don't own, nor can I ride a motorcycle and I don't engage in bar fights. I do however, like to rock out.
