Working as a designer for the past 20 years has taught me that no matter what you work on, each project is different and unique in its own way. The clients, the audience and the design combine to create a relationship between the user and the brand. As a designer, I enjoy influencing that relationship with my strong design skills, aesthetic clarity and understanding of marketing principles.
Designing for an international language education company helped me see the impact good design has on global communication. I learned to balance my creative vision with the limitations of designing for multiple languages, for which there is no one size fits all solution.
From directing photo shoots to designing adverts, my role within the company encompassed many areas including corporate branding, brochure production, print design and other design projects as required. I have designed for several other companies, including the Home Depot and Network Publications as well as freelanced for smaller companies. Each experience has helped me grow as a designer and as a person.
In addition to graphic design, I’ve always held the unofficial title of “Project Management, Buiness Analyst and Tech”. I am the one in my office who gets the printers to work properly and knows how to get rid of the pesky donut in InDesign. From mastering the office Mac to being tech support for my mom’s PC, I am the “go-to” guy for anything technical. I enjoy learning new programs and methods, so when I am not working you will normally find me reading about new design tools and tutorials. I enjoy learning from my peers and I keep up to date with the latest methods.
Aside from the usual Adobe standards like InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, I use QuarkXpress, Corel, and several web tools like Dreamweaver, Flash and more. And if there are programs I don’t know much about, it won’t be for long. So that is me - the perfect combination of man and machine, 100% designer. I can be contacted at [email protected] to discuss the position and my qualifications.
