About Charlie S.

I have over a decade of experience in advertising, production and creative services, I am a passionate and versatile production designer who specializes in creating, revising, and delivering error-free mechanicals and layouts for various digital, print and product campaigns. I have experience working at in-house studios, agency environments and creative production companies. I last worked at Amplify, a pioneer in K-12 education for the past 25 years, where I collaborated with UI/UX designers, curriculum directors and the product manager to ensure high-quality and timely delivery of creative assets.I am a power user of many Adobe Creative Suite applications, including Acrobat, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and After Effects. In addition, I have strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills, and I thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. My goal is to leverage my skills and experience to create impactful and engaging visual solutions that resonate with the target audience and reflect the brand identity and vision.When I\'m not busy at work, I stay very busy. I\'m either trying to perfect chocolate chip walnut cookies, perfecting an Italian merengue for pistachio macarons or in the woodshop planning the next great cutting board.
