Proven leadership and management skills lead to the opportunity (1999) as the boots on the ground to determine how we could better serve P&G Asia from Osaka, Japan. As the Global Design Production Manager I quickly learned there were more opportunities in design and rebuilt/positioned the team to pursue those needs. With support & guidance from design managers we built a team to deliver solutions in design & production.

My interest in 3 Dimensional communications brought me to my first position in packaging at Hulefeld in 1990 as a graphic designer. Early on I was intrigued by the complexity and technology necessary in Production/prepress and dove in. Eventually I became the first production manager at Hulefeld using Adobe software on Mac.
