I delivered robust support by color separating files, applying print tolerances, trapping file in line with printer specifications, stepping/repeating/distorting file, and sending output files/materials to the printer.A few key achievements in this tenure include:• Increased project revenue per job by directing usage of 3D interactive software.• Utilized design capabilities to create artwork for new die lines while maintaining integrity of standardized style guide.

Working closely with the marketing department and our U.S. based sales team, together we conceptualized ideas which I then created from design stage to print ready art a final product to be presented to our current and future client base. My artwork complemented the physical package which was initially created by our structural designers. Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, ArtPro and Artios Cad were the software programs that were used in the creation of the finished package design.
