Xerox
100 Clinton Avenue South, Rochester, NY 14644
Multimedia Developer
October 2000 - October 2001
Visit Xerox

Xerox is a corporation that demands outstanding business communications. My role at Xerox was much broader than my title as a Multimedia Designer / Web Designer. My responsibilities range from complete project management to taking care of all of my customer's needs as an account executive. I also functioned as a creative director, developing conceptual themes based on client information and current market research. I am very comfortable establishing a creative direction, while supervising a team to complete the project from concept stage to final production. Each project requires a detailed cost analysis, which I prepare and track for every client. In addition, I pride myself on the wide range of design and multimedia skills that are critical to produce powerful, cost effective marketing communications for Xerox Corporation.

Visit Rober Brookson Design

As senior designer, I was responsible for many different projects and functions in the agency, from conceptual planning of a project to final execution of the finished product. Many skills are required to see a project through to completion, and my expertise in graphic design is a valuable asset, whether the job is for the internet or for print. While at Brookson I worked closely with many large clients such as: Steve Ellman of the Ellman Companies (Phoenix Coyotes), Joel Nightengale - Ricks Cafe in Negril Jamaica, Tom Middleton - No Fear, Don Henson - Southwest Access & Video, as well as American Express, AAA Arizona and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

As the network administrator, I was responsible for upgrading computer software, ordering new equipment, installing new software and hardware as well as computer maintenance and back-up of the entire Macintosh network.
