Available Talent

F. K. | Paladin Los Angeles Candidate
Creative/Art Director with Corporate, Not-for-profit, and Agency Experience

Available For:
Long-term Contracting, Short-term Freelance, and Consulting.

Ideal Position:
My ideal position would be one in where I am called in on a project basis to work on creative branding/messaging and then, if needed, work on all facets of communication: concept development, art direction, design, copywriting, and final production.

What I'm best at is the concepting part of my job. Although I'm seasoned, I think like a kid and can come up with ideas that are always fresh and unique. I work very hard to come up with a plethora of concepts or tissues and just love it when the client gets involved in the process.

Past Experience:
I graduated from Art Center College of design in 1988 and have worked at a few different agencies in the Southern California area. I've owned and operated a small creative boutique shop for the past 11 years, catering to both small and fortune 500 companies.

Currently:
Recently, I was contacted by a franchise of auto body and repair shops to help in their branding efforts. They're huge in Canada but have zero presence in the states. I went into the pitch prepared. I purchased a blue "mechanics" jump suit similar to what those in the industry wear, had my name embroidered on it, and made a company logo for a patch.

I love what I do and it comes out in my work and my attitude. I'm very low key and get along with everybody.
