Manager Design
Resume:
Hello,
I currently work for Advertise.com, one of the largest exclusive network of premium and local publishers on the web. If you kindly visit Advertise.com you will see the third iteration of the corporate business site that was creatively designed by my professional work. I also worked on the user interaction, site flow, and establishing an overall bodied feel. This was my most recent major project and I am extremely proud of the work I have accomplished for the company.
So why am I looking for a job when I am working for such a successful company? The answer is simple, I want to continue expanding my professional skills constantly and eventually become a master at my craft. I feel like after working 10 months on the Advertise.com website project, the company didn't have any further projects to keep me further occupied besides simple projects. They needed flash banners? Done instantly. A brand needs a logo? No problem. They needed concepts to be lead by a Creative Director? I stepped up to the plate. Video editing including Motion Graphics and Sound Production? I knew this when I was a kid.
However when I notice as a professional that I am not advancing or learning anything new with my current position, that is when I take a step back as look into other potential careers that can help me excel at what I have a life's worth of passion for.

Objective
To join company where I can deploy my graphic design, video editing, and overall production skills. With my unbaring passion for what I would be doing for the rest of my life, I began my professional career in 1999 by designing and producing media for businesses all across the world. I believe that the web was missing not only ease of use but also sites just did not look pleasing. My highlight talent is translating consumer insights into actionable creative strategies and breakthrough concepts that can drive business results. My proud work has caught the attention of many successful businesses such as Adverties.com, Mahalo.com, UGO.com, IceLinkWatch.com, GamingAhead.com, Buzzya.com, GoRumor.com and a list of over 200 alternate websites to date.
"Wherever I work I am the creator, a leader, and professional team player. I bring passion where I work and where work needs to be done."
