For the annual General Assembly meeting for the Jewish Federations of North America, I took designs, provided to me in illustrator, and transferred them to the vendor's template system. Finalized the artwork for registration booths, JFNA's booth, and column wraps, to name a few.

Loosely based on previous years' designs for the typesetting, came up with a basic look for the mission booklets and with direction from client, created two booklets under a tight deadline.

Using an already established look for the show THE NEW CENTURY, set up ads and web art. Handled all the production of the program book including layout, typesetting and ad design as requiree.

Managed all production aspects of annual fundraising campaigns including, but not limited to, creating final art from low res comps, working with art directors regarding budget constraints, finalizing digital files, purchasing art, bidding out jobs to multiple vendors, and supervising printer on press.

Using an established design, typeset and chose images for 32-48 page magazine newsletter. Needed to minimize page count and utilized free imagery wherever possible to stay within the budget. Average turnaround from time of receiving text: one day.

Based on original design, gradually moved the magazine from a black and white newsletter to a 4C magazine. Simplified the layout, i.e. where images were not anchored to the text, to anchoring the images so that edits could be easily made. This simple change made for faster production while maintaining overall look. Converted production from Quark to InDesign as industry standards changed.

Created templates based on vendor measurements. Finalized all digital files. Everythingwas completed in a very brief period of time. This included banners, column wraps, posters, billboards, premium items, printed material as well as several window clings that ran the length of a city block with multiple images that needed to be silhouetted on a various backgrounds. Worked closely with vendor to ensure all items were delivered on time.

Production Director for monthly perfect-bound magazine. Created mockup, designed ads, worked closely with advertising department, released to prepress house, coordinated production schedule, managed and tracked costs.

Set up packaging designs based on printer-provided die-lines for packaging or, in the case of the leadership and Instinet pieces, created my own. Set up digital mechanicals in Illustrator complete with color separations when necessary. Maintained company branding and international product lines for Estee Lauder, Avon and L'Oreal.

Designed their 2015 Annual Report using their new brand identity. Also designed invites and postcards for various events as well as a series of postcards promoting their programs.

I revised Hillview Urban Agriculture's logo, maintaining the identifying hands but removed the box and updated the typefaces. The new logo has been used with the original colors until recently when I updated their palette to brighter greens with contrasting orange and gray when needed. New printed materials like brochures and pamphlets, are now using this new color palette.

Designed seven large format hanging banners for a Legistlative Breakfast with a very tight turnaround (one weekend) for design and finalizing files.

Created a logo for the Mayor's Conference along wth a flyer, small poster, and program booklet that printed on 11x17 and folded down to 5.5x8.5.

Designed the Season 13 collector's poster using a commissioned mosaic from a local artist. Created three promotional posters, calling out various parts of the mosaic to highlight the three shows. Also created a season brochure. All of these pieces set the tone for the upcoming season, echoing the artist’s artwork using a tiled mosaic feel to the designs with a colorful carnival-esque type treatment. Also updated this year's Education brochure.

Refreshed the template for their old newsletter, creating a fresher-looking newsletter, using a grid with more balance between the pages and better type hierarchy. Will be redesigning their logo during this year and will then completely redesign the newsletter once their identity is established.

Designed a large folding toolkit-for-action brochure for a campaign to inform the public about a land plan being formulated by the Wisconsin DNR, It was printed on 11x17 and folded down to approximately 3.5x8.5. Dense information was presented in an attractive, clear, and understandable fashion.

With the 2015 annual report, I maintained the streamline treatment I began in the previous year. I accentuated the bold "What Love Dares" theme by using a stark red color throughout along with bold images. Also, I retooled the infographics from the previous year. Also created this season's Education brochure.

Designed the brochure and the season poster using a commissioned print from a local artist. These pieces set the tone for the upcoming season, using a shocking red along with a dynamic typeface to bring out the season's theme of "What Love Dares."

Designed 68-page glossy magazine for Hillivew Urban Agriculture Center, a local non-profit. Informative photography (by local photographers), progressive color palette and clear content conveyed the Hillview's mission of becoming the much-needed hub for the large (and growing) number of local food activities in the La Crosse community.

For the 2014 annual report, I wanted to streamline it from previous years, making it easier to read and more concise. I also made it the size of tablet reader so it could be easily viewed on any platform. The final printed piece was light, compact and elegant.

Using already established play logos and art, redesigned playbill for size and simplicity as well as designed promotional posters for their 11th season.

Designed labels for Vermigold worm castings for Hillview Urban Agriculture Center. The castings are bing sold in local ACE hardward stores which required a POP display.
