You could say I got bit by the production bug while I was a graphic design student at CSU. During my studies, I had tried out just about every internship available at Penton Media. My last internship, a production art internship, ended up being the catalyst for my 17-year career in production art. While I did earn my graphic design degree, I have found my passion and niché to be more on the production side of graphic design. I feel like I’m much more creative in a left-brained way and enjoy figuring out the best processes to produce pieces. I am an InDesign guru who enjoys using XML, grep, and scripting to facilitate production. Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Word, Excel and Powerpoint are all in my toolbox to help get the job done. I love building out templates for new projects, managing project assets, formatting layouts, and working with wonderful teams of art directors, designers, editors, and writers to bring projects to life!
