What does it take? As a Senior Designer/MarCom Manager for a private corporation I'm tasked with the development and production of all visual communications from print advertising, website design to event coordination and all things inbetween. While brand, look & feel and keeping a consistent message is important, so is the company’s bottom line. I've learned to develop working relationships with key personel from all departments. Obeing strong work ethics and seeing the "big picture", even with the smallest of projects has been vital to success. As an integrator, I can weave the necessary elements to get the job done, and provide a finished product that shines.
Where I want to be: I thrive on results and the satisfaction of others. A professional, yet easy going and creative environment is the perfect eco system. A melting pot of projects, a team with passion and desire are perfect co-workers. I work to live, but don't live to work, weekends are a retreat and lunch breaks are for brainstorming. Ideally, I fit in where I can, when I'm needed I'm at my best, and I'm always looking for an adventure.
