I am a highly skilled print production and project manager and have worked on notable accounts such as Google, Kellogg's, Lenovo, Volvo Trucks and Kashi among others. I have extensive experience in 360° campaigns including print, broadcast and web, print being my superpower. I've managed all types of collateral (direct mail, catalogs, brochures, 3D mailers, etc.), signage, event graphics, specialty printing, outdoor, POP, print and digital ads, videos, radio, television and microsite.
I am a fast learner and adapt quickly to new tasks or changing priorities. I work equally well independently or in a team and am extremely organized with a great attention to detail. These skills allow me to develop fluid working relationships with both my peers and outside vendors, ensuring an exceptional finished product.
