PhilosophyI believe Production Management is so much more than checking items off a task list, stick handling a job through the process, or simply being organized. My expertise allows me to guide a job through each technical step, recommending and adding components along the way to improve a job, in terms of budget and timelines, as well as quality of finished product.ApproachAs a former award-winning Sr. Art Director, I am at home in the creative environment, supporting and representing their work with confidence through complex and colour sensitive projects. Acting as a "Mission Control" within the Advertising Agency or Graphic Design Studio, I excel at developing, implementing, directing and managing the workflow with the assistance of various tools and key talent. As a highly efficient, resourceful and consummate professional that works calmly in the storm, my attention to detail is second to none — down to the microns when required.CapabilitiesMy capabilities extend to producing anything where ink can be applied, including case bound books, hand made packaging, point of purchase, national flyers (millions per run), international drink beverages, agency self promotions, direct mailers, unique stationery, outdoor transit and billboards, display / sales centres and vehicle wraps to name a few. Along with providing recommendations and seeking production options on a project-by-project basis, my scope of capabilities also spans the complete production cycle. By addressing each stage of the process, including coordinating with internal departments, developing detailed timelines (by the 1/2 hour if req.), negotiating and outlining estimates with vendors based on equipment and capabilities, providing expertise and quality control at press checks, ensuring the finished product is shipped & delivered according to exact specifications, as well as monitoring and reporting on vendor quality and performance, I provide a comprehensive approach to Production Management.
