I am an Art Director / Graphic Designer seeking a new full time, contract (W2), part time or freelance position.
I have corporate experience in a broad spectrum of graphic design services including print collateral, logos, ads, brand identity, websites, e-marketing, packaging, trade show graphics and online digital libraries.
My areas of strength include project management, attention to detail, superior customer service skills and simultaneously working on several projects. And I am very effective as a self-directed, independent employee.
