I am a highly skilled print production artist with a mix of both creative and technical skills. I have extensive experience and proven expertise executing high-end projects in deadline-oriented environments. I assist designers in producing print, packaging, advertising, point-of-purchase and digital graphics including preflight formatting, in addition to collecting, processing, checking and uploading files.

I have strong typographic and layout skills, a strong attention to detail, and outstanding organizational, project management, file-organization and archiving skills. I work in a Mac based environment using Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft 365.

In addition to print, I have experience with digital content such as websites and online email campaigns, along with basic knowledge of HTML5, CSS, Adobe After Effects and web-development software.

My abilities include:

Collaboration with art directors, designers and developers
Prepare final press-ready files based on supplied specifications on a variety of printing methods
Provide image retouching, clipping paths and additional image manipulation
Package files for release to printers or clients
Create PDFs for print and client review
Conduct press checks
Prepare images for online and mobile applications
File and reference art for future projects
Troubleshoot problems as they arise with the creative team, the client and the printer
