RssMatthew Brown - Graphic Artist

As a double major at University of Redlands' renowned business school, an intern with Kern Direct Marketing since 2005, and a top performing production artist with HD Supply, I am eager to apply my skills and experience to a position at your San Diego headquarters. Design and marketing are my passions, and I have worked as a freelance artist since the start of my college career. However, when it came time to select a major, I felt that a business degree would give me the foundation to take my career to great heights. Given my educational background and the experience I've garnered from a variety of business and graphic positions, I believe I have the ability to work through and meet the challenges of this competitive field. My combined experience in business and design has fostered my skills for attention to detail, time management, creating original concepts, communication, and meeting deadlines. Moreover, I have experience with direct marketing, both Mac and PC operating systems, pre-pressing documents, a diverse range of software, packaging, apparel design, layout, illustration, photography, editing, animation, and printing. I am looking for a creative and fun environment that still knows how to get the job done. Let me show you what I can accomplish given the opportunity.
