Description
Hello!
I would like to be considered for the position of Art Director, Graphic Designer, or Production Artist. I have worked at Arnold, Dentsu, Lambesis, W+K, and a number other agencies on clients such as Airwalk, Best Western, HealthNet, Logitech, Nike, Princess Cruises, Suzuki, and a lot of other brands.
I like to create work in print, video, web, or any other media that might be required. I enjoy combining striking visuals with powerful words to create original, compelling pieces of communication.
I’m skilled in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, DreamWeaver), Microsoft Office, and other software. I enjoy collaborating with copywriters, and other team members. I can proofread and write copy when needed. I’ve handled deadlines, multiple projects, and new business pitches. I’ve art directed shoots, presented work, and handled production. I’m happy to learn anything else that’s required for the job. I have a great home studio with a maxed-out iMac, extra monitor, and Adobe Creative Suite, so I can help out right away!
To see some of my work go to www.mkartdirector.com. I can show more work upon request.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
Thanks,
Michiel
