Production Manager/Designer
Artistic Sign Design
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
I started out as a designer and production assistant then became the lead designer and production manager. I worked with a variety of programs and machinery on a day to day basis. I am skilled at SAI Flexi, Adobe design software, Latex printers, laminators, Graphtec cutters, and have expertise in vinyl and sign applications. I also have working knowledge of paper and apparel printing as well. I worked on vehicle graphics, signs, and decals of all kinds but I also designed marketing materials such as business cards, fliers, banners, and yard signs. My duties included: being customer facing and first point of contact, taking incoming orders for printed materials, designing with clients, handling billing and office organization, ordering materials for production, maintaining machinery, preprint prep and proofing, printing/laminating/cutting, and post print preparation. I was tasked with taking a customer through the design process from conceptualization to final design, then preparing that design for the print process. With the vehicle wraps I have designed, I have developed a keen eye for important details such as color consistency and artwork cleanliness to ensure high quality, detailed prints with no errors. I completed projects from small decals and signs to large wall wraps and transportation semis. I also updated the website with new photos and managed the social media profiles.
