PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY AND OBJECTIVE. My background in fine arts combined with my exceptional computer skills and extensive knowledge of graphics software (Mac, PC, Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, PowerPoint and others) have earned me respect and recognition as both a graphic designer and an art director in the fashion industry. The same artistic ability that earned me a full scholarship to Stitutto Estadale Gaetano Ballardini in Italy, one of the two best art schools in the world, has enabled me to consistently create unique and imaginative artwork that has significantly increased sales for my employers. Furthermore, my aesthetic sensibility has enabled me to work not only with designers but also directly with merchandisers to set up extremely attractive presentations for buyers. My objective is to obtain a position that will not only allow me to continue working in my present areas of expertise but that will also afford me further opportunities to be able to work in office and remotely from my studio.
