Time-tested, multi-faceted graphic designer familiar with all aspects of pre-press production, budgeting, media buying, and market planning. Although most of my work has been done on a freelance basis, I have also served in-house as Creative Director and Publisher for various publications and volunteer organizations. I am proficient with all the tools of the graphics trade (primarily within a Mac environment), and have proven adept at working both within teams and independently, to produce creative that is on deadline and on target. My familiarity with marketing through social media has opened new frontiers for several clients as well.A partial client listing includes:► Archadeck | Outdoor Living Brands► Association Executives of North Carolina► Chesterfield Living Magazine► Eisenman & Associates► Exterior Source► Families Today Magazine► Hanover Lifestyle Magazine► Independent Insurance Agents of Virginia► Mercedes-Benz of Midlothian► One South Realty Group► Reaching New Heights Magazine► Re-Kinect► River City Magazine► Southern States Cooperative► The Sportsman's Magazine► University of Richmond► Virginia Asphalt Association► Virginia Association of Community Banks► Virginia Association of Community Service Boards► Virginia Association of Health Plans► Virginia Society of Association Executives► Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance► West End's Best Magazine
