Take online classes to advance skills

Every experience has brought me challenge and growth.  My creativity, design skills, marketing, advertising and production knowledge help me manage every aspect of the job. Advance skills in Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office and organizational traits keep me fast pace and prepared. Packaging experience helps me to understand die lines and packaging production setup with stickers and decals to complete final artwork. Setting goals and being open to change are what give me a sense of self-achievement and value to everything I do in life.

Production Artist & Designer II for the International department. Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop CC 2019, are the forefront tools for
package design and production.
• Importing the die line into Illustrator and using the artwork from the render was needed to create the design and lay flat. Organized
named layers, high resolution embedded images, die lines with CYAN and Red lines that specify folds, spot color call outs, slug information & stickers/labels created in PDF format with 100% MAGENTA .5 line width cut area. Preparing a sticker/label on acetate & clear sticker/label
stock, there must be an RGB 30% grey underlay to preserve the whites in the labels, a bleed is also mandatory. The size of the labels varied
according to the printer you were printing on and the size of paper or clear stock you were using.
• Know how to use the printers and trouble-shoot any problems that occurred. Creating outlined files of all completed
artwork was included.
• I wrote copy for back packaging with added recipes and instructions formatted in Illustrator. I worked closely with project management,
Merchandising, die line engineer and creative to meet deadlines and transfer final art to the international server.
