10/tenths design + communication

10/tenths design + communication 10tenths.ca These experiences eventually led to a management position within the creative department of a direct marketing company from 2004 - 2006.

Since 2001, I have worked steadily as a freelance graphic designer, landing various design + technology positions along the way that I can be proud of — constantly adding to my skill set. When I first started out, I was producing print ads for Kendrick Astro Instruments to run in such publications as Astronomy magazine, Sky + Telescope, Sky News and Parks Canada. My experience as a Sr. Art Directo

r for Qponz Inc. gave me the chance to really put my management, creative, and technical skills to the test. I recognized that the vistas of communication were always changing and evolving — I knew that it was time to branch out. In order to strengthen my foundation and expand my repertoire, I chose to return to school in 2007, graduating with honours, majoring in advertising at George Brown College. After graduation, I became the Webmaster for Interactive Toy Concepts from June 2011, until the company ended operations in April 2016. I was brought in to develop a custom website and continued on a part-time basis providing maintenance and support, as well as streamlining many administrative systems including e-commerce and shipping/receiving. That root position had allowed me the freedom to embark on various independent projects as well as obtaining contract positions such as Sr. Production Artist for BAM Builder Advertising and Marketing back in 2012, during their peak period. In that role, one of the websites I had a hand in developing and maintaining via JOOMLA, was for the Treetops community. I was also responsible for various HTML based email blasts pertaining to sales center openings including Treetops, using Vertical Response plus other marketing collateral for Nottawasaga Resort. Another project I handled was a touchscreen interface I built in Flash for the Orchard Ridge Homes opening. Some of the more recent projects I have shouldered, through a large market research firm have been for: Rogers; Tim Hortons; Canadian Tire; Aeroplan; Coca-Cola, LCBO; Penfund; and CORBY.

Hello Facebook universe. Starving artist here. I haven’t been using this platform as intended to be a portal for shameless self-promotion, but if anyone out there has a project and/or actual job for me, that would be great. I’ve been working solely off my business for years now and it’s not always as lucrative at it sounds. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you are a designer, it is hard to pass up an opportunity to solve a problem without introducing visual aids. I have a 40 x 76 in area to cover using extraneous pieces of laminate flooring, left over from various jobs. None of the individual batches are enough to cover the area on their own, so here I am testing out different combinations before I start messing with the physical material.
