Experience Summary
My name is Chris Simard, I am a Graphic Designer currently residing in the downtown area of Tampa Bay. I have 18 years of industry experience ranging from marketing and advertising, periodical publications, and pre-press production.
I think it is important to know what influences a designer’s creativity, so let me tell you about myself and what inspires me. I am originally from New England, Burlington Connecticut to be exact. I am a graduate of Keene State College in New Hampshire where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Visual Arts. I have always had a strong appreciation for the outdoors and nature and find that it is often reflected in my work.
I consider myself to be an arts enthusiast and enjoy exploring art movements of the past and present as well as visiting museums and galleries for artistic inspiration. I am particularly fond of the strong graphic nature of the printmaking medium and like to create prints in my spare time. I believe that having a strong work ethic combined with excellent teamworking skills and an optimistic attitude towards life are essential qualities for personal and professional success.
