WHY ME?

Senior-level Mac Artist: Retouching, file prep, design adaptations, print production.
Over a decade working in advertising design studios on print and digital projects.
Creative, observant (sometimes overly) and an insightful thinker.
Versatile, adaptable, brave, friendly.
Transferable skills from working in art direction and design production alongside notable talent, and from immersing myself in a foreign city solo.
Eager to land on the best ideas possible and utilize my creative brain.
Intermediate level French, written and spoken. Je pense.
Capable of leading a studio and implementing best practice based on years of experience for smooth work-flow and quality results.
