Hello,
I am a design professional with over 25 years of web and print design experience. I have spent those years mostly using Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, HTML, CSS, WordPress, CMS, or comparable items on almost a daily basis. I’ve been fortunate to have a diverse client and project list including websites, print work, illustration and more. In my current job I manage the design for multiple companies (pharmacy, restaurant, and real estate). I manage many aspects, websites, print material, social media, logos, budgets, hours, in-office IT, supply orders and interacting with different office departments.
I’ve worked with clients such as Disney Interactive, Buick, Cadillac, Discover Card, Eddie Bauer, U of M Business School, and many others. I’ve worked with small to large clients on a large variety of items. Not only have I been the designer, but I also have experience managing other designers, budgets, time, and project assets. I have a diverse design skill set that applies to a variety of projects which allows me to work with many different teams and departments. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with top clients, build heavy website experience, create a large variety of print work, start my NFT journey all while being able to self-manage (current position and my own business).
I’m a hardworking, honest, and trustworthy person. I’m proud to say you can ask anyone over the years and get that answer. I live in Livonia and have been married 25 years with a son in high school and two cats. I like to spend my free time with family, painting with acrylics and digital car illustrations. I’m currently available for in person, hybrid, or remote position. I worked every day in office during COVID, we did not close being that we are a compounding pharmacy. I’ve worked from both locations, home (13yrs) and in agency (14yrs). I hope my experience and skills seem beneficial for your open position. I’m happy to meet in person or online. I look forward to speaking with you.
Thanks for your time,
Nick
