Experience

Shaw Group - Denver, CO. October 2006 - present
Graphic Designer Level 3 (Senior Level) - I work in Shaw's proposal group on the designs of covers, information graphics and presentations for large multi-milion dollar proposal efforts for our Environmental and Infrastructure group. I delegate jobs to supporting designers on certain projects, work closely with editors and project managers, coordinate efforts with outside vendors and work within budget allocations with the “get it done” expectation. I also work with our MarComm group, which heads up Shaw Group’s corporate marketing and collateral material - brochures, flysheets, event banners, posters, postcards, and websites.

Senior Graphic Designer - Worked for the corporate in-house marketing and proposals group for an environmental engineering firm with over 24,000 employees. Workload included leading proposal efforts, marketing, business development and presentations.

CH2M HILL - Atlanta, GA. March 1999 - March 2003
