Amber Wing
San Diego, CA, USAI am a graduate of The School of Design at Rochester Institute of Technology, and as a result of my coursework and work experience, I have become interested in print and advertising. I have a variety of experience ranging from conceptualizing marketing strategies, to designing ads and collateral, prepress file preparation, copywriting, and storyboarding.
I have worked for two agencies in Raleigh, NC, an agency in Sorrento Valley, CA, and I am currently at an agency located in the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. I have designed a wide variety of materials for clients such as BB&T, Prudential Realty, Anderson Homes, CORT Furniture, Dollar Tree, the Gaslamp Quarter Association, and the San Diego Convention Center.
As a designer, I have a good range of skills and knowledge to use within your company. I am fluent with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, and am familiar with Corel Draw, Quark and Flash. I am also someone with an open mind and courage to explore and test the limits. I have excellent leadership and communication skills, as well as motivation to succeed in this industry. If you are looking for someone to effectively contribute while keeping an upbeat attitude and sense of humor, I am that person. I understand the importance of deadlines and am very strict about meeting them.
