Available Talent

A. S. | Paladin San Francisco Candidate
Production Artist with Corporate, Not-for-profit, and Agency Experience

Available For:
Long-term Contracting, Short-term Freelance, Temp-to-perm, or Direct Hire.

Ideal Position:
My ideal opportunity is as a production artist with the opportunity to do some design for a publisher or small press. I would prefer a non-agency environment.

I am looking for a casual environment, room for growth, opportunity to advance, and patient supervisors, all in a creative, stimulating atmosphere. I am looking for varied projects rather than boring repetition.

Past Experience:
While most of my time has been spent as a production artist in an agency environment, I have also done marker comps and storyboards, designed newsletter and brochures, created montages in Photoshop and I've had cartoons and illustrations published in Bay Area newspapers and other periodicals.

Currently:
For an art museum, I styled and fabricated object labels and chat panels, designed and produced signage and collateral, and collaborated with other designers, clients and vendors to produce museum quality graphics.

I am mature & responsible. I prefer to avoid office politics. I have done my time in agencies that demand 60-80 hour weeks. I have paid my dues and worked hard. I will continue to work hard for whoever gives me the opportunity to do so. However, work-life balance is also important to me.
