• Manage our Production Team and brainstorm with our Creative Team • Track our multi-faceted work flow while scheduling print, paper and various vendors, coinciding to produce a final piece of print collateral. • Whatever it takes to get the job done well and on budget. • Reduced department costs 70% in first year. • Use my PrePress Guru knowledge to rectify issues before they become problems. • Ensure all computers up-to-date and running smoothly. Including Desktops, Laptops and FileServers. Upgrade older units as their production value decreases. • Maintain and upgrade our intranet and Internet network as well as our mail servers.

As the Supervisor and then PrePress Technical Advisor in the PrePress area it was my responsibility to create and maintain an atmosphere in which our Department functioned in a relatively trouble free environment. This included solving personnel issues, as well as, workflow issues, hardware, software and Network related issues: • Accountable for creating, implementing, and updating all Department Standards and Procedures.• Interviewing and testing prospective employees, hiring and then performing extensive PrePress Training. • Inhouse PrePress Training and off-site Client Education. • Creative problem solving and the streamlining of existing workflows. • Tracking and then eliminating film and plate waste, thus allowing Hoechstetter to transition to their current Direct-to-Plate technologies. • Auditing of Hardware systems and Software packages, upgrading systems and maintaining linear production stations.
