Multimedia Developer

Xerox
October 2000 - October 2001

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 ranged from complete project management to taking care of all of my customers' 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. At Xerox, each project required a detailed cost analysis, which I prepared and tracked for every client. I pride myself on the wide range of design and multimedia skills that were critical to produce powerful, cost-effective marketing communications for Xerox Corporation.

Senior Designer

Robert Brookson Design
June 1998 - October 2000

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 of Rick's Cafe in Negril, Jamaica; Tom Middleton of No Fear; Don Henson of Southwest Access & Video; as well as American Express, AAA Arizona, and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
