SAVED COMPANY MONEY!! $$.
Using my knowledge of Illustrator, I revamped the company's existing time-consuming method of working with files of 20+ layers.
I developed and created in- novative standardized templates of 6-7 layers for the repeat use of comparable files.
This streamlining of the procedure increased efficiency and productivity while minimiz- ing the margin of error on similar files.
