    Perform a dual position of print buying and production art, which includes prepress, color correction, and advanced photoshop work. I am a firm negotiator, and have many personal contacts throughout the printing and advertising markets. My pricing is significantly discounted as they know my files are sound and not problematic in prepress or on press. My advanced color correction skills make press checks run smoothly. I manage the process from production to print, stock and ink selection, proofreading, direct contact with outside vendors for bids following through each step to final product. I have packaging, signage, and large format production experience. The Wood Agency is a member of ASI in which I manage presentations. And ordering of promotional items. Run digital press.
