In my own words

Dug

I'm an innovative Graphic Design Supervisor with over 25 years of experience in transforming ideas into compelling visual narratives.

My journey has taken me through various creative landscapes, from leading dynamic design teams to art directing photo shoots, each step honing my skills in editorial layout, brand identity, and digital communications. I am passionate about creativity and collaboration. My leadership style is rooted in fostering a supportive and innovative environment where team members can thrive. I believe in the power of a cohesive brand story and work tirelessly to ensure that every project not only meets but exceeds expectations. <br><br>☑ At EMC Insurance Companies, I’ve led the design team to new heights by developing and implementing procedures and quality standards that optimize our creative output. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege to guide significant transformations. <br><br>☑ At Business Publications Corporation, I spearheaded a major rebrand, and consistently delivered high-quality, impactful designs that resonated with audiences. My role as an Art Director allowed me to blend my love for design with strategic thinking, resulting in successful magazine and custom publication launches that elevated our brand presence. <br><br>I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail is paramount. Whether it’s developing a digital asset management system or producing engaging social media content, I bring a meticulous and innovative approach to every task. I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
