With 18 years of real world creative experience, I've done a little bit of everything from graphic design and prepress to illustration, web design, coding/scripting, video editing, animation, management, project management, contract/budget negotiation, client presentations, and more. I love to create, learn, and solve. In fact, I solve problems that aren’t even my own, always believing that “there must be a better way”. I dare to think differently and I’m not satisfied with status quo solutions that merely achieve. I’m driven to surpass and succeed.► I went to college on a full-ride scholarship and graduated in the top 5% of my class with distinction.► I was promoted 3 times within my first 3 years at Hallmark, managed a staff of 20+ employees by age 27, and have received stellar performance reviews at every job and position I’ve ever held.► I played a key role in several transformational projects at Hallmark to make workflow operations more nimble and efficient.► I have helped create hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings at Hallmark and some of my co-workers have even affectionately nicknamed me “Action Adam” or created cheesy mottos like “Just Ask Adam”. That’s where I’ve been, but I have no intention of stopping there. I'm a life-long learner and, currently in my free time, I’ve spent the past couple of years studying user interface design, user experience design, HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, and responsive web design. I’ve also been writing and illustrating a children's book … just because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
