Focusing on the issue at hand is my specialty. A professional, fast pace, structured and team-oriented environment is the setting I thrive in. I enjoy a creative atmosphere and the challenge that follows a great piece of work. Taking on new adventures and a positive outlook on life keeps a company moving forward. I believe in a team-playing attitude that carries over into my field of graphics, work and to those around me. Staying on top of a new style, effects and designs, keeps the company I am working for growing and moving into an always-changing future.

Modern Graphics Inc., Peru, Indiana 1995-2000 Computer Graphic Artist/Supervisor Working for a printing company my duties consist of designing and working one-on-one with customers on their catalogs, newsletters, brochures, posters, etc. Along with design, I helped create “Hot Shot” which entail having the client on site for 4-hours. Starting off in a ‘Power Meeting’to review their ideas and concept of their project, I would then design what was discussed into a finish piece layout for them to review and edit. Once this was completed I would assist in getting it to film, press and package for the client to take with them. This new format became a weekly assignment, which help increase sales within 4 months.
