Background and Resume
After completing college Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors Degree in Communications & Design and an Associates Degree in Graphic Design, I continued on to work with cutting edge designers in Westport, CT. Working with clients like Dun & Bradstreet, and Litle & Co. Here I learned how to incorporate the education I gleaned from school to practical skills that worked in the marketplace within timeframes our clients demanded.
I progressed into a corporate position for a Fortune 500 Company at the time, First Brands Corporation, the makers of Glad, Glad-Lock, STP and Prestone. They were in need of an individual who could design in-house materials but also grow that department from within, in order to fit the needs of the corporation. It was a very successful venture and within 5 years the department of one became ten strong.
I continued to increase my career skills by continuing my education in my Masters Degree majoring in Marketing at Sacred Heart University. I was offered a promotion as Associate Product Manager for Scoop Away Cat Litter in the A&M Products Division of the Marketing Department. In addition to that responsibility I was also asked to develop an advisement team for the corporate officers on implementation of internet development and web marketing into the corporate advertising profile which was later dubbed the I- Team.
I was confident at that point to venture out and launch a collaborative graphics business focusing on web development and multimedia/print design for various local clients including Thomas Register. One of these clients was a multimillion dollar industry client, Allergy Control Products. I have created promotional materials, online graphics and catalog designs that succeeded in expanding their business into new product lines and divisions. I also have created live websites that dovetailed into mass direct mailing pieces and product brochures.
