Creative Director and Project/Product Manager with comprehensive knowledge of print and web production, advertising, editorial, direct mail, as well as video/motion graphic design and production.
I envision and interpret new concepts and design elements to keep projects fresh and attract consumers to products.
I am in touch with the latest design trends and tools to better accomplish creative goals. Interaction with Editorial, Marketing, Copy Writing and Graphic Production departments to meet deadlines and goals by creating schedules that accommodate all departments involved; streamlining workflow and refining processes to produce fast, efficiently and accurately. Design and reformat book jackets for print, as well as formatting for web and audiobook. Also involved is interaction with various publishers and printers, to acquire art and issuing purchase orders.
Project/Product Management for all Bookspan books, duties include reformatting/typesetting select novels, purchasing ready made books and working directly with imprint houses and printers.
I design for the client. I started my professional career while still in high school, first as an intern then full time after graduation at a record label doing Jazz/New Age cover art and promotional materials. After that I had started a freelance career for several years designing for various companies such as Dentsu Corp. of America, American Photo Magazine, Standard Motor Products and BMG Music Direct. Since then I have taken on many roles with one ever changing company since 1996 and have kept things in motion through the evolution of that company and many personnel cuts with my design skills, organizational skills and adaptability.
