Laura A Grote Email & Phone Number

I am the perfect designer to hire for all your projects. With over 40 years of experience, I began my career right out of college using exacto knives and developer. I have seen all phases of the advertising business through the years, freelancing in agencies and print shops, cutting mechanicals using rubylith, pressing individual letters to create newspaper ads, drawing borders with pen and ink, and creating storyboards with Pantone Markers. I remember the first computer I ever used while working at a print shop – it was revolutionary! Imagine operating Quark Xpress and Photoshop on a Macintosh IIcx with 4mb RAM!In 1994 I got more ambitious and started L A Graphixx. I've grown it into a DBA with countless clients from every kind of business who needed logos designs, corporate identity, signs, cards, web content, photos... you name it, I have probably created it by never missing a deadline in all these years. I've worked on NYE, Christmas, midnight and noon. I subscribe to Adobe Creative Suite so if you hire me as your dependable freelancer, you will never have to supply me with anything. Sounds easy, and profitable doesn't it!I have decades of experience. I build ads from the ground up. I know their origin, I know how pre-press, printing and colors work because I created them, it's not just a keystroke on my Mac.My volunteer positions over the years include:NOAA Trained Marine Mammal / Environmental Educator Coordinator ~ Puako Makai Watch ReefTeach HICrew Lead, Monk Seal Response, Photographer ~ Ke Kai Ola / The Marine Mammal Center HICrew ~ Marine Mammal Center, Sausalito CALevel 3 HI Islands Large Whale Entanglement Responder West Hawai’i Marine Mammal Response NetworkEyes Of The Reef NetworkMonk Seal FoundationAsha’s Farm Sanctuary event Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper Summit Learning CenterVice President, Fairway Terrace BOD Music is Art eventTexas Children’s Cancer Hospital Cattaraugus County SPCAAIDS Community ServicesBuffalo Homeless Animal Rescue Team IN American Cancer Society
