About Rob
I help organizations make their best impression by cohesively merging impactful graphics, intelligent writing and insightful marketing. I am known as a:
As a Senior Graphic Designer, I have created and art directed a range of graphics projects for print and digital – brochures, sell sheets, tradeshow booth graphics, web design, print ads, direct mail pieces, and video graphics for TV commercials, to name a few. My extensive daily experience working on multiple projects for multiple brands – doing everything from concept development through completion – means that I know how to get things done for you. I have cut previous graphics department turnaround times by as much as 80%, increasing customer loyalty and satisfaction. My knowledge of print production often saves pre-press costs at the printer.
During my career, I have also written press releases and marketing materials. In 2014, I formalized these and other skills by completing nine months of full-time training as a Public Relations Specialist. The training included writing, marketing, PR, social media and event planning. I graduated with honors, as I had from art school at the start of my career. I have since been doing various aspects of this work "in the field" on a freelance basis, and further updated my capabilities with University of St. Thomas' Digital Marketing program.
I am currently available for freelance, contract, and contract-to-hire opportunities, but my primary goal is a full-time position where I can use my years of graphics experience and my writing and strategizing skills to help a mid-sized organization succeed. I thrive in a nimble environment where hard work and multiple talents are valued, and where making a strong, positive impact on the organization naturally makes a positive impact on the world.
