My responsibilities as a Pre-Production Designer include setting the foundation for successful printing production. I ensure that the proper format, appearance, and layout of text and images is set before the full print run for vinyl decals, static clings, car magnets, and various other substrates are completed. I utilize print or electronic files from customers and scan or import them into Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, making color, text, and digital image corrections as needed.

In addition to Pre-Press and Customer Service, I create custom designs that customers can use as a template to modify and create their own unique products from.
