Graphic Designer • Professional Sports Publications

October 2012 – January 2020

Graphic Designer responsible for completing editorial design of client-based programs and publications for professional and collegiate sports teams and events. I communicated directly with the client to produce content for their yearbook or game-program that fit into the team/event guidelines. I was also responsible for maintaining deadlines and organizing the content submitted for the programs. These programs are sold as souvenirs in their arenas/stadiums and team stores. In 2018, I began creating interactive digital web and mobile versions of these yearbooks and game programs for select teams using Ceros. I became our company’s elite designer for this program and from November 2019 until I resigned in January 2020, I was in charge of our use and communications of Ceros.

In the company’s small environment, I worked directly with the Art Director and Editorial Director, as well as being a point of contact for an outside illustrator and photographer. I worked on interior page layouts for an Anatomy of Exercise book and DVD series for Hinkler, as well as other titles including history, religion and other non-fiction books. Beyond layouts, I completed photo-research and production or a line of 2013 wall calendars and helped draw maps in Adobe Illustrator for The Atlas of Military History.
