Resume

For over two decades, I single-handedly managed and executed all graphic design, marketing collateral, and visual assets for a 70-employee commercial retail development firm with a 3.7M SF portfolio. This position required cross-functional leadership, including managing full life-cycles for critical sales assets, directing trade show logistics, and conducting demographic reporting to support site-selection committees. Previously, I orchestrated the complete layout and production lifecycle for a local weekly newspaper.
