My latest contract role involved updating terms and conditions documents for Synchrony Financial using InDesign. Recently, I worked remotely part-time 10 hours a week designing catalog pages for Salon Centric, a beauty products publication. I'm seeking full or part-time contract work.
I contribute demonstrated production and design skills in a creative marketing environment
for print and digital. I've supported teams in the financial, consulting, packaging and publishing industries. I'm an expert user of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. Attention to detail, strong proofing and organizational skills make me an effective asset to any team.
I'm married with a 6 year-old son living outside Boston, MA. My interests include regular exercise, outdoor activities, reading about history, archeology and other topics, cooking and motorcycling.
I provide expertise using the Adobe Creative Suite, ESKO, CloudFlow to create and modify critical product packaging including cartons, trays, shippers in multiple languages for use in offset and flexographic printing.
As the lead production artist, I received manuscripts and support graphics laying them out in templated InDesign files using style sheets. I created or redesigned the charts and graphs using Illustrator.
I helped source cover art from various photo houses and used Photoshop to modify for use in print and web. The approval process involved writers, editors and in-house creative director. I was instrumental in implementing two rebranding initiatives for these long and short form reports.
Infographics created by third-party design house and art taken from the print publication files were repurposed using Illustrator and then sliced and output in various file formats for web, social media and placement in PowerPoint decks and Word docs.
The exhibits used in the BCG universe required extreme attention to detail, expert use of Illustrator, adherence to design standards for font and color usage and frequent changes and iterations per writers and editors.
Working remotely as a freelancer with Bausch and Lomb, I designed and laid out this publication on Presbyopia in four languages; Italian, English, Spanish and German. This involved creating master pages, a working grid and style sheets. For illustrative art I generated layered Illustrator files with layers for each language.
Working with the art director, I created various options for the internal page layout and graphic treatments.
The photographic content and illustrative content were very complex and precise requiring extreme attention to detail and version control.
I was the sole graphic designer and production artist for the complete layout, design and release to press for various editions of Home Gallery magazine. Working with photographers in the field, writers and the owners, I brought these from initial concepts to final approval and release to the printer.
