03/2009 to 07/2009: Steelbeach Productions

At Steelbeach Productions, I worked with the Art Director to design and

program flash presentations, interactive online training modules and custom

graphics, Other projects included designing vector icons, developing posters

and I have been in charge of multiple animation projects, creating visual

representations of dialogue and information.

09/2008 to 12/2008: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida

I was hired by Blue Cross on a 3-month contract to help design a new web portal.

Achievements:

My ability to work independently and quickly complete the project task enabled

BCBSF to utilize my talents on other projects, such as redesigning user-interfaces

across various applications and producing new graphics, logos and presentations

for merchandise and message-driven illustrations.

The Head of Information Management at Blue Cross has provided me with a ‘To

Whom It May Concern’ reference recommending my web design skills and advanced

Photoshop capabilities and confirming that BCBSF is happy to use me for

future projects, based on my availability.

10/2007 to 08/2008: Bizatomic (Web Design Company) — Florida

As Lead Designer, my primary role was to create e.commerce and Joomla websites.

Approximately 95% of my workload was clean-sheet. Other projects consisted of

replicating existing websites and transferring them to new platforms.

Achievements:

Designed some 300 customer websites for Bizatomic, a fast-paced company, requiring

high-speed delivery & ability to create web designs that accurately reflect the client’s vision.

My skill level allowed the company to take on higher paying, prestigious companies

such as SkyeLabMusic, operated by Arthur Skye a well-known music producer whose

client’s include Madonna, Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Alicia Keyes and other

household names.

Work to tight schedules on projects lasting between 3 to 30 hours and spanning

diverse markets, these include the music industry, insurance, medical, sports,

architecture, camping supplies, furniture, real estate, coffee stores, veterinary etc.

Ability to quickly conceptualize and deliver content that matches client

expectations is enhanced by my regular interaction with customers. I arrange

one-on-one design consultations to discuss my customer’s corporate image,

possible color schemes, website layout and business objectives. This information

is used to visually represent them on the web.

Bizatomic was sold and saw a downturn in business, which is the reason behind

my move from the company. The company President has provided a ‘To Whom

It May Concern’ reference and comments that he would “definitely rehire me

if/when business conditions permit.”

02/2007 to 09/2007: GreenbackStreet.com — Florida (formerly Pinnacle)

As Graphical Designer, my role was to create multiple compositions for the

company’s websites: Shop4Zero.com, KlikFire.com & GateNetMarketing.com.

The company also had a requirement to market their product offerings alongside

well-known household brands. Consequently, I designed web images/pages with the

‘look and feel’ of established brand, such as recreating the style of Apple.com

for GateNetMarketing.

Additionally, I created flyers, posters, banners, presentations, logos, custom art,

email blasts, layouts, online games, business cards and managed all website updates,

including proof reading spelling, grammar and writing copy.

Achievements:

Improvements in web functionality and page objectives, through a combination of

competitive analysis and the incorporation of new design concepts.

A reinforced corporate identity using wireframes for layout and navigation, color-

schemes and custom images.

Writing multiple management reports researching Social Shopping websites—design

layout, functionality and the psychology supporting those decisions.

Freelance: 10/2006 to 01/2007: Superior IT Solutions — Florida

Superior IT Solutions is a full service company providing computer systems,

networks, software, web hosting and IT support. Reporting to the Company

web-design services for client websites. My services were retained on a 'self employed

basis' working both on-site and from my home-studio as/when required.

Part-time: 2002 to 2004: BERTL.com — New Jersey
