Design Graphic
Resume:
Hello
My name is Brooke Matteson and I’m a seasoned Graphic Designer with many years of varied experience.
Currently I’m working at Apple in a contract position as a Producer, Illustrator and Graphic Designer. In addition I have also contributed to the design of an iBook for Apple that is scheduled to be released soon.
I feel inspired by collaborative brainstorming yet rest assured, I can come up with unique on-target creative on my own. Count on seeing a wide variety of initial sketches right off the bat. I’m very comfortable pitching a variety of creative options to address audience, objectives, budget and scope. I have experience in advertising design and layout, theme and logo development, illustration, animation, video special effects, branding, promotional internet marketing, invitations, web design, signage, and all print materials. I can storyboard out a video, animation or photo shoot with ease and organized, structured detail.
In addition I have designed stage concepts, created multi-day presentation media plans for corporate events large and small. I've created speaker support templates and managed media and contractors on site. I am experienced and comfortable with championing and shepherding a creative media plan/vision through a variety of different deliverables with dedication, consistency and passion. I’ve mentored junior artists and designers.
I am hardworking, creative, patient, mature, and I have a good sense of humor!
I have enclosed my resume with references for your review.
