As a professional in the graphic design and printing industry for 28 years, I have amassed a set of skills that allow me a great deal of flexibility in dealing with situations that come up on a day-to-day basis — challenges that present themselves along the path to the completion of highly successful publications. I feel that my skill set includes the following strengths: 1. An ability to work very quickly and extremely efficiently to bring projects to a successful and profitable conclusion. 2. An expert and long-standing deep knowledge of industry-standard software, including Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Quark XPress and HTML editing products. 3. The ability to communicate effectively with vendors and clients to obtain desired results. I am an affable and cheerful individual, and I enjoy working with people. 4. In-depth practical knowledge of the printing and prepress process based on real-world experience. 5. The ability to provide creative and versatile designs. As an artist I have worked in multiple markets and industries — from wholesale catalogs to museum-quality art books, from print shops to advertising agencies, over a long period of time.
