Weekenders USA, IncSenior Graphic Designer
Apr. 1999 - Sep. 2005I provided well-organized leadership and project management for my team of designers to maintain a cohesive workflow of catalogs, brochures, logos and e-mail marketing, which collectively represented the company to it's fullest potential. I directed the entire creative process of each project, from concept development, through hands-on design, to approving press proofs. I planned and directed photo shoots, and managed photography collections. I also oversaw pre-press and printing processes, to achieve the best possible color quality and graphic output.
