PROFILE Online Folio: http://jgdesign4.wix.com/Candidate's Name cidfolio
As a Director of Graphic Design Services (CFMA*) and/or Graphic Designer for over 23
years, I have successfully created high-quality conceptual and aesthetic designs that appeal
to and enhance the viewers interest in the subject matter and/or a clients product success.
I possess excellent communication skills, a team player, and I also work well independently.
I have the ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously, while maintaining a high standard
of quality. I establish work plans and priorities to ensure the timely completion of projects. On
a personal note, I am passionate, hardworking, hands-on (not afraid to get my hands dirty),
open-minded, friendly, able to take criticism, enjoy tweaking projects, willing and able to
empower others and help lead them conceptually and technically through a clients project,
while maintaining a sense of humor. I believe in going the extra yard for a client. In the end,
they will remember your efforts, be rewarded, and return for your service.
