Work Experience

Lee Wybranski Art & Design

Senior Graphic Designer

As Senior Graphic Designer, I design a variety of printed materials and maintain the brand identity of over thirty golf clubs and companies in the industry. With a proven expertise in logo and brand development, I assist the Art Director with his vision to create an elegant, understated look of design and illustration while communicating the essential information. Directly consulting with new and top clients, I am able to design a broad range of projects, including: advertisements, posters, and logo systems. I am able to work independently on strategic issues with clients, capable of managing routine to complex projects, and deliver projects on time and within the given budget. Acting as the liaison between our outside suppliers, printers, and clients, I ensure that each aspect of production is completed in a timely
manner and that the final proof is up to our clients' standards.
