SELECTED ACHIEVEMENTS

ROUSH PERFORMANCE - As an Installer with a history of Graphic Design and Production experience I was able to solve a fitment Issue by redesigning an applique for the Dominos delivery vehicles, cutting installation time by 30 minutes. I was also able to identify printer specific color errors and print quality issues, improving the output of large format banners, bus and trailer graphics. ENTACT MEDIA - The ability to deliver creative quality under budget/time constraints. Recent freedom to take on unique editing, motion graphics, and a foray into design consulting and management.

MCLAREN USA - As Art Director, pushing for quality while cutting printing costs through innovative technology, I was able to grow the Mclaren brand visibly through focused advertisement, custom direct mail pieces, videography, and product photography. My most responsible and and longest held position to date, an outstanding moment was generating 500 calls a day through a postcard campaign for an airless tire. My previous experience contributed to the remedy of several major issues in ROUSH retail graphics quality output and profitability. Thorough knowledge of printing processes also aided in solutions to frequent errors in printer specific output.

This is a part time business which I have developed over the years through repeat clientele and taking on unique projects in the non profit sector. It motivates me to remain relevant and current with new technology and various applications under the realm of visual communication. JASON WILLIAMS

I was able to cut printing costs at King Baby by 75%. I created a chart that showed the gap between quality, price, and turn around time using thier current system. They were impressed that more quantity can be obtained with less money while still remaining high quality. My experience at Mclaren ran the gamut of design and advertising. Primarily an incall and web order business, I very qucikly learned how to track the effectiveness of my advertisements, specific ad placement and overall response through the sales team. At peak Mclarens rand had presence in over 60 monthly publications. Developing key relationships was pertinent to finding a target specific market and retaining them as repeat customers. EDUCATION
