Greetings,
I am hoping for an opportunity to discuss the job possibilities with you
and that I may be able to draw upon my expertise
that I have developed in many areas and bring those skills into the job
situation. My past expertise is focused in Marketing, Advertising,
Communications, Graphic Design and Education. I have been involved in many
aspects of business, from conceptualizing and creating product lines, to
the managing and development of departments, materials and creating
marketing plans. I have also been an Account Executive, which has given me
several years of sales experience. Over the past few years I have also
taught at SLC Community College and have been a substitute teacher within
the Jordan and Granite school districts.
EDUCATION
Attended the Salt Lake Community College and finished my studies at the
University of Utah in Marketing, Advertising, Visual Communications, Art
and Graphic Design. During and after college I worked within advertising
agencies and In-House situations. I have been able to fine-tune my skills
in many areas, which have given me a positive edge on the competition
in all aspects of the business needs of the clients I have worked for.
EXPERIENCE
I've worked with many different types of businesses and clients and
successfully helped them meet their marketing and creative needs with
projects that have ranged from sporting products, ice cream, medical,
dental, retail, computer products, web design, auto, real estate, as well
as fund raising for hospitals. I have been involved in many aspects of
business, from conceptualizing and creating of product lines to the
managing and development of the departments.
Over the years I have received Addy's, Best of Show awards with my entries
at the college. Art Directors shows and Illustrators West Show in Los
Angeles. Also awards from Beckett Mead Paper Company, Kimberely Clark
Corporation and Beckett Paper Company for my Design work. I have won
Awards of Excellence from Utah Advertising Federation for my Designs and
Advertising, Utah Art Directors and also Society of Illustrators.
Sutter & Associates: Art/Creative Director. Over the past few years I have
been involved with several clients that I have worked for as a Marketer
and graphic designer. I have developed marketing plans, design concepts,
created finished printed pieces for advertising and marketing, strategies
for clients and their products in the marketplace, web marketing and
development. Social Networking and I have also taught in High Schools and
College students the talents and skills I have acquired.
Children's Miracle Network: Manager Communications. I worked as the
manager of communications, marketing, graphic design, and creating
programs and collateral materials for raising money for over 170
children's hospitals in the US and Canada. Developed CMN's brand and
managed a department that worked with other departments and hospitals
across the US to promote their brand with their many sponsors. Duties also
included a yearly telethon that involved celebrities and athletes, plus
their CMN directors 3-day seminars and events.
Salt Lake City Credit Union: Marketing Director. Created and implemented
the many promotions and services that were provided at the several
branches throughout the city. Redesigned the logo, web page and updated
all of their promotional material to create a better awareness of their
brand with a more professional and progressive image. Developed marketing
campaigns with radio and print ads to promote key products and services
that were being offered through the credit union. As a result of many of
the month to month ads, profitability and sales of many of their products,
such as auto loans, setting up new accounts, mortgage loans, VISA cards
and CD's increased. I developed their marketing plan and implemented it
over the year, and updated their image with a new look and feel to all of
the print, signage, brochures, ads, posters, and web page designs.
Salt Lake Community College: Instructor. I was hired as a full time
instructor at the Salt Lake Community College and I taught classes at the
college in Marketing, Advertising, Computer Design, Graphic Design, Visual
Communications, Occupational Orientation and Portfolio, Illustration and
Photography. I would direct and instruct classes from 20-30 plus students
per class, plus create instructional plans, syllabuses, tests and much of
the curriculum that would be taught each quarter that would give the
students the skill sets needed in the marketplace. I enjoyed very much
teaching and interacting with all levels of students, sharing with them
the skills that I have honed over the past 15 plus years.
Thank you for your time and assistance, and you may view samples of the
work I have done for others on my web site.
Best Regards,
