What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, with opportunities for leadership and professional growth.

With over 25 years of experience in the Prepress and Graphic Production industry, I have honed my skills in both print and digital formats, including catalogs, advertising, direct mail, and marketing. My extensive hands-on knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat, allows me to create high-quality production files that meet the technical specifications required for successful print outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have taken pride in my ability to perform thorough quality checks, ensuring that all digital artwork meets the necessary standards for bleeds, resolution, and color profiles. I have successfully collaborated with clients, design teams, and print vendors to address production challenges, optimizing workflows and developing reusable templates to enhance efficiency. My leadership experience includes overseeing projects from inception to final release, ensuring that all jobs are completed accurately and on time.
