Design Team Sign CompanyIndustrial Graphics / Decor Manager
Mar. 2012 - May. 2015I created corporate signage concepts for local and national franchises across the United States. Notable clients include Applebees, Baskin Robbins, Capriotti's, Dairy Queen, Hardee's, IHOP, McAlister's Deli, Perkins, America's Best Value Inn, and Shoe Show (includes Shoe Dept, Shoe Dept Encore, Show Show Mega Store). My experience includes: • Producing detailed vector based drawings and specifications for product manufacture • Using blueprints, architectural drawings, and computer-aided designs to demonstrate product potential • Collaborate with engineering, marketing, production, and sales departments to establish and evaluate design concepts for manufactured products • Working on ideas as part of a production team for developing design • Improving signage concepts for existing corporate clients / rebranding • Designing concepts and technical detail pages for custom exterior / interior decor of franchises and small businesses • Use of Project Pro, Flexi, Corel Draw, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator • During my time there, I established myself as one of the fastest designers in my department, was promoted to include interior decor in my work, continued self-teaching in learning new design software outside of work, and won two awards for excellence.
