My experience spans over 20 years in design and advertising, working for both agencies and commercial printers. I was on the ground floor of the electronic prepress boom, helping local printers get a leg up on the new technology. During this time I learned much about digital file preparation and proper prepress techniques. I have worked for design shops and advertising agencies, applying my skills to create final mechanicals from client approved layouts. In addition, I have had the opportunity to create as well, taking ideas from art directors and running with them, completing brochures, sales sheets and newsletters with little or no direction.
