I ensure the accuracy of designs in the last stages of development. I review final designs, suggest improvements, increase the quality of production, check that standards are met, retouch high-resolution photography, eliminate defects, archive files, and maintain server databases. I have 30 years of technical knowledge including visual communication skills, design experience, teamwork, deadline orientation, and computer proficiency using Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat).I lived & worked in Chicago for many years. I relocated to Southern California in the fall of 2016. Some of the positions at which I worked were freelance, some were full time, and still others that began as freelance and transitioned to full time. In almost every case the work was basically the same at almost every company. And my goal is always to do a great job.
