I strive to do the best work I can in everything I do. Having years of agency and studio experience as a Sr. Art Director/Finisher has allowed me to be very proficient and streamlined. I’ve worked with a variety of clients ranging from entertainment, gaming, fashion, beauty, high-end jewelry, automotive, branding, travel, real estate and industrial. One of my greatest experiences was Retouching on set for apple’s iPhone 3 and first generation iPad for Media Arts Lab at a photoshoot. My experience involves: Knowledge of pre-press procedures i.e. how to set up labeled layered Photoshop and Illustrator files, provide bleeds, color correction, etc. Ability to take verbally articulated concepts and represent them visually Strong organizational and time management skills Able to manage multiple on-going projects and setting priorities based on deadlines Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with co-workers and vendors Experience developing ideas and concepts, presenting them to clients and working through various rounds of revisions Work well under pressure Experience
