RESUME

PROFESSIONAL

I have been a graphic designer for 24 years.  I have worked on many interesting projects over the years. From brochures, manuals, branding guidelines, sportswear and promotional products, email blasts, and membership carriers and cards, I have worked in several fields of the printing industry including screen printing, digital, and offset litho. I am detail and goal oriented. I consider myself a team player but also a self motivator. I work well with clients and vendors. I am organized, a clear communicator and always up for a fun new design challenge.
