I am searching for the job in Prepress/Production/Design. Below is a full resume of my professional experience in the print industry. My prepress skills include preparing digital files for printing press, digital four-color output and toner-based postscript output.
My design work has consisted of full business packages for individuals, as well as many major wine-related businesses. Typically these packages include such items business cards, stationery, brochures, and labels. My other creative experience includes theatre programs and tickets, real estate marketing pieces, posters, and display ads.
Customer service is another area in which I have extensive experience. Taking orders, giving quotes, tracking jobs and making sure the customer is happy are processes I’m familiar with. I spend extra time with non-professional customers to help them prepare a better file to submit for their next job.
This resume covers my print work, but I am bringing to this work my past experience in other industries, like the craft industry (textile arts, weaving, knitting) where I was intimately involved in all aspects of a very successful, international craft supply company, book publishing, and music publishing.
