Experience Summary
As a graphic designer, I have over seventeen years of hands on experience, which has given me a deep insight on design techniques and a varied skill-set that includes layout, print production, and best practices in project time management.
I have been a creative lead on all visual aspects of proposals including original art, charts, graphs, formatting, editing and standardizing on a variety of documents in the preparation of an effective proposal response. Then I compiled all components of the proposal into one consistent cohesive style representing the company. I take pride in working quickly and self-sufficiently while coordinating with team members across the nation to meet numerous tight deadlines. Handled a variety of proposal projects ranging in small revenue sizes up to multi-million dollar mega deal proposals for a wide range of clients in the private sector and our government’s federal and state entities. I have received recognition for excellence in the graphic design field with AT&T as well as awards for best proposal design layout from STC-Society of Technical Communications.
