SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Professional Summary

I am a creative, hands-on professional with expertise in graphic design, art direction and project management. In my current role as a Marketing Services Representative for Beverly-Hanks & Associates I work closely with Real Estate agents to develop & execute Marketing plans to exceed their sales objectives. In addition, I serve as the Print Advertising Manager, overseeing all local and national advertisements. In my previous position as Senior Graphic Designer for Burco Promotional Printing, a division of Indexx, I lead a four person department, managing all aspects of the production process. I thrive in a team environment, and enjoy creating exciting design solutions for all budgets.

On the personal side, I am intrigued by the Schell Brothers Culture of Happiness, as that is how I choose to live my life. I have always been a positive, half-full kind of person. The one who always says "Well at least....", trying to find something good about everything. I think that working for a company that promotes Happiness would be amazing.

I believe your opening presents the precise challenge and environment that I am seeking. I am attaching my resume for your review. I feel my background and skills would bring value and benefit your company.
