     As the Creative Director for AirfloStudio, I supervise all art, web, graphic, and industrial design projects,

      design products. My responsibilities include, but are not limited to new accounts acquisition, client-studio
      relationship, direct management of all current art and design programs, including workflow management,
      on-site press management, internal quality control, vendor quality control (as needed), and creative
      oversight of all final output. I enjoy direct client contact, and work within the client’s stated budget and
      production schedule to provide a service that has a lasting product satisfaction and improves the corporate
      or organizational identity inherent in every design product that AirfloStudio delivers.

      produce a product that set a high standard for quality illustration, and contributed to the overall reputation
      of the firm as the domestic market leader for high-end textbook illustration. While working for Precision
      Graphics I was able to hone my skills in all aspects of industry application software including the entire
      Adobe Creative Suite, as well as maintain my skills in traditional art and photography processes.
