Employment History and Graphics Background Information

I have many years of experience in print production that includes - managing a production department, designing, illustration, taking a job from concept to completion - doing all phases of the project myself. I have worked in publishing companies, an advertising agency, and as an independent freelance designer.

My background includes traditional production skills as well as experience with a variety of software programs and digital prepress. I have prepared a large variety of projects for prepress and gone on press checks (sheet fed and web).

Most experience involves newspaper and magazine advertising, design and production of ads, management / scheduling / deadlines, ad sales, customer service and maintaining a sales database for those accounts.

In addition to the jobs related to graphics/advertising/publishing, I taught art in an elementary school for kindergarten through eighth graders, assisted the instructor at a school for electronic arts, managed a small women’s clothing store, and worked as a vocational evaluator in a facility for people with multiple disabilities.
