March 1994 to March 2006

Colours Dublin, Ireland

Manager

I was the head of the Art Department, responsible for the design and production of all T-Shirt jobs that came into my office.

I would have to design a T-Shirt for

i) The company itself, mainly for the Irish Tourist Market (Adults and Kids) although we did launch a few other titles including The Millenium Collection and various others aimed at a youth market

ii) Regular clients including Gateway, Microsoft, Irish Cancer Society and other large companies would want T-Shirts for events and after receiving a rough draft/idea I would design an image for them

iii) I would also design for people who came in off the street wanting designs for Summer Camps, Clubs etc

We would save artwork for all designs and I implemented a system using Microsft Access for keeping track of all artwork so if we ever needed it again to reprint.

I was also responsible for the company's website after I was sent on a course by Colours to learn Web Design.

During my tenure in Colours I went from being a screen washer to running the whole printing production responsible for scheduling print runs making sure clients received goods on time in the proper fashion and if mistakes were made, I would resolve them.

I was also responsible for quotes and ensuring that the right goods were present at the allotted time for printing.

In 2004 I was pivotal in establishing Colours as an Embroidery Company, from purchasing the machine through training how to use programs to design specifically for embroidery and ordering the correct threads to do so as well as planning for production.
