Experience
OMNI MEDIA CLEVELAND / APRIL 2006 - CURRENT
Omni Media Cleveland is an outdoor advertising company that specializes in wayfinding streetside kiosks. My roles
with the company were very broad including: designing sales materials, mailers, client creatives, email marketing,
website / social network maintenance, proof of performance photography, and sales team support. My time with this
company has given me experience in the world of marketing and advertising.
BEACHLAND TECHNOLOGY GROUP / APRIL 2009 - SEPTEMBER 2009
Beachland Technology Group is a certification school designed to help underprivileged and unemployed adults
increase their software skills. I was brought aboard to teach graphic design software to these adults. I taught the
CS4 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign and in that time I helped 100% percent of my students pass
the Adobe Visual Communications Certification. Teaching this course was a great experience and increased my
interpersonal, team leading, and communication skills.
WESTLIFE NEWSPAPER / MAY 2005 - OCTOBER 2005
My first job in the graphics industry was with Westlife Newspaper. It is a small newspaper that services the western
suburbs of Cleveland. I was brought in temporarily and was given the responsibility of laying out a section of the
newspaper as well as designing client s advertisements. I was required to work very efficiently to meet the tough
deadlines that are part of the newspaper industry. My time there led me to become a faster and more detail oriented
designer.
