Re: Designer
Jacksonville, FL
Hello:
My last title was Manager, Web Development and Interactive Media at a
marine navigation company. The company was broken apart and sold.
You will find me Internet savvy and experienced with web site design,
content development and maintenance. I've also run a design/marketing
business for nearly a decade.
As an experienced design/marketing communications pro, I apply objective
marketing goals to web design concomitant with user friendly
interaction/experience. If you're familiar with Myers/Briggs Type
Indicators, I am an ENTP - an innovator, idea generator.
With excellent conceptual, written and verbal skills I make the difficult
understandable.
I have produced technical publications, written white papers, scripts for
commercials, short stories, and presentations.
I'm a people person, with a good sense of humor and a balanced seriousness
toward business. No prima donna, just like to work with bright, energetic,
colleagues who work hard without leaving life behind.
I confirm that I will work within the compensation range noted in your
craigslist ad.
Sincerely,
Alan
