Pre-Press/IT Director
Cannonball Advertising • Temps plein
Jan 2004 - Present • 22 yrs 8 mos
I’ve spent more than 20 years with Cannonball, a full-service advertising agency, providing hands-on creative production and technical support across a wide range of client work. My role bridges creative, production and technology, with experience in graphic design, image retouching, prepress and print production, 3D visualization and rendering, photography, video editing, motion graphics and digital content production. I regularly work alongside designers, creative directors, account teams and outside production partners to take ideas from concept through final execution. I’m also responsible for supporting many of the technologies and workflows behind our creative department, giving me a strong understanding of production pipelines, file management, color, asset preparation and efficient creative workflows. At the core of my role, I’m a creative problem solver—figuring out how to turn an idea into a polished, production-ready result.
Pre-press/MacLab Manager
Momentum • Temps plein
Nov 1996 - Jan 2004 • 7 yrs 2 mos
I began with Louis London, later acquired by IPG/McCann-Erickson and integrated into Momentum Worldwide, specializing in high-end photo retouching and photo illustration for national advertising and sales promotion campaigns. I helped establish and manage the retouching and illustration group, producing work for clients including Anheuser-Busch, Miller Brewing, Coca-Cola, Upper Deck, Monsanto, Best Buy, American Express and Buick. My role later expanded to managing the broader Prepress and MacLab Studio operation, leading a team of up to 27 production professionals responsible for transforming creative concepts into accurate, print-ready materials. The position combined hands-on retouching and creative production with team leadership, quality control, workflow management and large-scale advertising production.
