#About

My [work] experience comes from starting in the newspaper industry. I moved on to pharmaceutical advertising as a studio artist. Learning everything that I could, I moved up to Studio Manager quickly, then Director of Graphic Services/Studio Director where I managed 20+ studio artists and ran 2 shifts to cover demanding workloads.

My previous position lended me the opportunity to do it all and get it done right the first time. On any given day, I could work on layouts, print mechanicals, illustrations, professional photography, high resolution photo retouching, disk releases, print production for complex projects and simultaneous rollout of large print and multimedia strategies, multimedia banner ads, web development including WordPress, HTML5/CSS3, and even forecast and manage information technology/infrastructure.

Currently, I am assisting various studios in the pharmaceutical advertising industry with digital and print work projects. These assignments range from corrections/mechanicals/asset preps of websites and banner ads in Adobe XD to layout corrections/mechanicals/disk releases for various print materials in Adobe InDesign.

#Past experience 1

STUDIO DIRECTOR, PRINT PRODUCTION

PIVOT HEALTHCARE
FULL TIME

Nov 2007 - July 2020 (Company closed due to Covid-19 Pandemic)
New Jersey, United States

I was employed at Pivot Healthcare for 12 years and 9 months. I was the 6th person hired in the pharmaceutical advertising company and the last one released before the company closed due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

I was able to develop a Studio Department and staff accordingly. I developed and implemented the information technology; purchasing of all hardware for users, servers, backup protocols, and software purchases. I developed protocols for job routing (paper initially and then digital). I developed mechanical checklists to ensure accurate and successful production of work (print and digital). I managed production for all projects (print and digital)--average number of projects in a launch were 30. First and foremost, I was a problem solver. Problems were presented to me and I found solutions--most solutions saved time and/or costs to projects.
