• I was hired as one of the graphic designers, specializing in InDesign to utilize the Agile Product Life-Cycle Management System; to produce accurate pre-flight print production graphics packaging of DFU pamphlet inserts for 800+ medical sensor products & instruments. • Over the course of the year the print production pre-flight packaging (600+ pamphlets & 500+ technical operational manuals) progressed towards the projects goal to complete the revisions in 23 different languages and graphic modification to meet the new FDA requirements. Each step impacts the coordination process with multiple department reviews, including the Marketing Dept., Engineering Dept., Compliance & Regulatory Dept., and Language Translation teams.

At Swell I managed, designed and art directed the Swell Catalog from start to finish. I also designed and wireframed two separate website overhauls.

I also managed the photo department for five years and had between 3 and 6 people reporting to me.
