Operations Manager
Stylecraft Marketing
Rancho Santa Margarita, California, United States
At Stylecraft I was responsible for the Photography, Asset Management, Electronic Retouching and Production, Pre-Press, Press, and Network IT for the company. I shot Photography for all of Stylecraft's clients including ASICS America, Onitsuka Tiger, Oakley, PowerCrunch, AirWalk and more. Stylecraft was a unique experience as I was involved with projects from start to finish. I not only started with shooting the photography but then was able to follow the assignments to completion which added many skill sets to my resume outside of photography. I was involved with catalog production(InDesign EasyCatalog Implementation), pre-press, press, all the way to final press checks. Yes many nights of lost sleep at all-nighter press checks.In addition to Photography and Print, I was asked to do Video Projects also, Again from start to finish, gaining valuable skill sets with shooting video and video production. But let's not forget the ever so important IT Administration. I was also asked to oversee the IT Systems at Stylecraft. With contract help I was responsible for Stylecraft's cross platform network. This included storage, backup and safekeeping of all of our clients digital assets. I became versed in IT standards for Server Configurations and Security Protocols and learned vast amounts of information about both Microsoft and Apple hardware and software.
