      Graphic Designer

      I add customer or created art to conceptual structural designs and some pre press one up art adjustment and pre-flighting. I take conceptual designs to physical mock ups for the sales and marketing team. I attended to all odd jobs that need a graphical helping hand as the only graphic designer currently on site. I was also responsible for maintaining all supplies, inks, printer, hardware and software. Became the graphic designer in 2008, before that I was a glue operator and I spent one year in the Printing Dept. as a platemaker. Show less
