Available Talent

K. B. | Paladin San Francisco Candidate
Art Director/Graphic Designer with Corporate, Not-for-profit and Agency Experience

Available For:
All types of positions.

Ideal Position:
Teamwork is important to me. My work with small agencies as well as large corporate organizations has given me the experience that allows me to coordinate with many different kinds of groups. I have an intrinsic understanding of collaborating one-on-one with clients, both face to face and remotely via telephone and the Internet.

Past Experience:
My professional experience includes: annual report and marketing collateral design for major corporations, medical groups, therapy clinics and vintners; package and poster design for toy and game companies; display and signage fabrication; corporate conference and speaker support programs; website design and management.

Currently:
My most recent art direction project was for an insurance company in Oakland, CA, working directly with senior management. My job was designing and producing the 2008 Performance Improvement Handbook, A Tools and Applications Guide for Project Teams. The final product is a 442 page book including 145 visual tools and illustrations.

Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop are the applications I use on a daily basis. I have years of experience with QuarkXPress. I'm very skillful with an x-acto knife and I'll pick up a pencil to sketch out ideas.
