Teaming up with Tech, Sales and Marketing leadership to build new ways to communicate our awesome financing and technology driven products! Stellar teams, brilliant teammates and amazing opportunities to build bridges and inform & educate our customers!

I have been creating illustrations and designs for my own personal projects and for a variety of organizations and companies for a few years. In that time I have learned to work with a great variety of people with many different goals. We have worked together to take their vision to the real world in the best ways possible. Additionally I am also actively creating projects for my own productions. These include; children's books, basic websites, printed products such as brochures and business cards and concept art. If you would like to know more please visit my website at https//:www.derrickutz.com or my freelance Facebook page by searching for "Dutzworks."

I have over 11 years of in-house design experience up to, and including, becoming a Senior Graphic Designer. I have worked in-depth with the Adobe Creative Suite of programs and am an expert in InDesign and Photoshop and highly proficient in Illustrator. I have experience with additional programs such as SketchUp and website platforms including Wix and Wordpress and look forward to becoming proficient in them.My main tasks consisted of brand management, collateral concepts and design, and the design of logos, long-form catalogs (60+ pages), brochures, fliers, business cards, banners and greeting cards. Additionally I was a visual problem solver for multiple areas of the company because I am both a traditional, hand-drawn artist and a designer.During my tenure I worked with our many corporate brands to ensure the quality of consistency with how each single piece unified in design with other collateral from that brand, and how each brand as a whole communicated the high quality of the parent corporation. I was able to work with a vast network of teammates that spanned many points of our product lifecycle from the product concept teams all the way to our manufacturing facilities to ensure the information we were communicating to our customers was as accurate as possible.
