I’ve worked as a Brand Guardian, Production Artist, Digital Artist and Associate Director for the last 14 years. During this time, I’ve both managed and worked with teams to maintain a consistent recognized brand, both with guidelines or without, thus achieving what our clients were looking for. I’m proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, WordPress, Keynote, PowerPoint, GMG Color Management Software and more. In addition to these skills, I have developed a great understanding of the workflow and processes associated with the advertising industry with anything print or digital. As Associate Director of Production Design at code & theory, I oversaw all production aspects and delivered across multiple projects at a time. I also worked with our Creative Team and the client to ensure our work was always received both in a timely manner and with the client’s satisfaction. Aside from these relationships, a crucial part of my work centered around empowering and mentoring others. After a decade working with different clients and agencies I was in the position to lead a team of seven: through production and digital design, from Client requests to delivering. Ive completed design work for various clients in various environments like ad-agencies, magazines, in-house for off-site clients or designers. All of these past work experiences were done through professionally recognized retailers/agencies where you can find below under experiences. You may also view my portfolio at www.darswork.com.
