Senior packaging prepress supervisor and multidisciplinary designer specializing in print-ready artwork and packaging workflow optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior packaging prepress specialist and multidisciplinary designer with over ten years of diverse experience across packaging and print-focused workflows. I’m flexible, adaptable, and I communicate clearly with design, production, and sales teams.
In my current role as Prepress Packaging Supervisor, I lead and manage the prepress packaging team—training, guiding, and supporting high-quality output. I review and approve print-ready files to ensure compliance with client specifications and industry standards, including artwork, die-cut details, imposition, grain direction, and media type and thickness.
I’m experienced in preparing complex dielines, print-ready artwork, imposition, and plate generation. I also bring strong command of color management and preflight checks, using quality control processes and structured documentation to minimize errors and maintain product quality.
I collaborate end-to-end with cross-functional stakeholders, troubleshoot prepress and production issues, and continuously look for workflow efficiency improvements. I’ve also supported budget management and resource allocation to keep projects moving smoothly under tight timelines.
