      Jr. Graphic Artist

      I started in cut and paste dept. and worked my way into junior graphic designer with a focus on ad design and layout. When the book was complete I worked in the photograph room shooting film for the plating process. I worked on page layouts and imposing publication using Baseview and QuarkXpress. My knowledge of the computer and applications allowed me to eliminate the cut and paste department saving time and money.

      Production Manager

      I started as a production associate in 2001 and took over the production manager position in 2006. In 2009 I was named group production manager overseeing two Hearst publications, Floor Covering Weekly and Electronic Products. I’m familiar with postal regulations as both products are print and bound periodical mail. In 2008 I won an award for publication redesign. As part of the redesign I reviewed paper stocks, developed specs, media kits and communicated with the staff to make sure they were knowledgeable to all changes. All phases of the production process are tracked and managed using spreadsheets and web applications. I work closely with management to develop schedules and budgets for all media products. Eight years ago we were looking to save some time in our schedule to allow the development of new products. I reviewed our process and procedures and found our method was outdated and creating a bottleneck in prepress. I moved us to an InCopy InDesign workflow which eliminated the late nights and allowed additional time to develop new products. Electronic Products was sold in February of 2015 and I work solely on Floor Covering Weekly. I was asked to take on the task of moving the office from Uniondale to Manhattan. The move required communication with every team at every level of the business in order to move all phones, computers, archives and office materials. We also had to communicate the move with all our readers, clients and vendors. I’m happy to say the move was completed in five months. Show less
