My career in the exciting world of advertising and marketing combines over 16 years of experience, including, but not limited to, brand management, print and web production, art direction, newsletter layout, magazine advertising, digital media and file prep and direct mail just to name a few. I am a concept-driven, smart-thinking, highly-experienced designer and creative lead — specializing in developing and exploring ideas for my clients.

I work with designers, writers, planners, illustrators and photographers. Tools of choice are mouse and monitor, but I’ll make a pen and pad dance too. I love to get inside the brief and get my hands dirty, bringing sound strategy to the message. As an integral part of various advertising and marketing teams, I have utilized my strong organizational skills to manage multiple projects and develop clear, effective communication strategies. While my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, I excel at:

• Developing and executing strategic marketing campaigns designed to strengthening the client’s reputation and identity.
   

• Leading a cross-functional team of designers, developers, account managers and contract vendors.
   

• Reviewing work solutions, provided regular feedback and lead meetings to create a cohesive approach to staff/vendor communications.
   

• Created policies, procedures and problem solving among staff and freelancers that helped them be more effective in meeting time-lines, budgets and project deliverables.
   

• Serving as the primary point of contact and liaison with printers, trade show vendors, rich media representatives and other key vendors that help make projects successful.
   

• Managing advertising programs, including direct mail, magazine, print collateral and multimedia presentations.
   

• Managing client accounts, scheduling jobs and maintaining communication between clients and staff/vendors.
