Over 20 years progressive experience in the graphic arts. Clients: Background History: While working with EDUCORP Multimedia from 1991-1996, an International Publisher & Distributor of CD-ROM titles, I was promoted to Art Director. During this time I gained sophisticated knowledge of design, production, pre-press and the printing process. I met the challenge of art directing and managing the art department while meeting tight deadlines. In 1997 I was hired by Chromium Graphics as their Art Department Studio Manager. I streamlined high volume departmental workflow, organized and structured the art department by creating and implementing policies and procedures and training of the sales staff in pre-press and printing. Chromium Graphics clients include: Walt Disney, The Topps Trading Card Company, Tri-Star Video, Coors, Budweiser, Creative Lab, Lucas Films, Nestle, Warner Brothers, others. In 1998 I moved to Pacific Color which evolved into Vertis, inc. Here I had the title of Creative Digital Specialist. My responsibilities included graphic design, production and pre-press including corporate identity, catalog layout, image creation, retouching and color. Clients include: Lambesis Advertising (including Nordstorm, Bebe, Skyy Vodka, Cutty Sark), Household Auto Finance, Callaway Golf, Oakley, Creative Nail, Dickie Walker, SYS Technologies, R&R Advertising, Warner Design, Zukor Advertising, to name a few.
