What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to use my technical skills to contribute to a company’s design initiatives.

At SGS & Co. ASIA PACIFIC MANILA, I lead a team of production artists serving Walmart and review, finalize, and prepare artwork for printing press production. I also help keep delivery on time and maintain quality in a remote production environment.

At PIONEER PRINTING PRESS / AL RAED PRINTING PRESS, I created designs, layouts, illustrations, and image edits for offset printing. I specialized in packaging design and preparing press-ready files.

Earlier, I designed and illustrated graphics for large-format printing at DIPIC (DIGITAL PICTURES IMAGING CORP.), and created illustrations and designs for T-shirt and apparel printing at OUTDOOR CLOTHING MANUFACTURING CORP. My work has also included educational books and learning materials.

I bring hands-on experience in illustration, human anatomy, pre-press and print production, and packaging design. I’m seeking to contribute my technical skills to a company’s design initiatives.
