    Specializing in Business to Business, I work directly with company marketing directors and sales departments to provide graphic services from concept through printing. I take the worry out of their marketing collateral by making sure the projects are done correctly, hit the target and are on time. I don’t believe in excuses, I believe in results.To get your promotions noticed call me now at 952-922-4142

  • Marketing Art Director / Graphic Specialist

    • Rosemount MN

    I collaborated with the sales department heads to come up with re-designed collateral materials that would be visually exciting and include all the data they needed. They reported back to me that the materials helped them increase sales and made closing easier. An ad campaign that I created resulted in sales of $330,000.00 cheese palletizers to a new client directly from the ads. I was also instrumental in branding a neglected product line and bringing it back to life.To talk to a sales friendly graphic designer call me now at 952-922-4142

  • Marketing Art Director / Graphic Specialist

    • 2001 - 2005

    While I was in charge of catalogs I found printers that could print our major catalogs for thousands of dollars less and still exceed our quality standards. Calendar mock-ups had been expensive to produce, I found a way to create them in-house saving money while getting them to sales department faster making my supervisor very happy.To contact a designer who can streamline the promotional process call me now at 952-922-4142
