CAREER EXPERIENCE SUMMARY

I have worked as a senior graphic designer at Churchill & Co since November 2004. Our principal client has been the Bayer HealthCare Diabetes Care Division. My responsibilities have included design and project management for a wide range of Bayer HealthCare projects including:

Design of the Division's worldwide Brand Guidelines

I led Churchill's design and production team's work on Bayer's launch of the Contour LINK Wireless Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The launch involved logo design, package design and production, brand message conceptualization, creation and distribution of sales kits. The kit included ads, brochures, consumer and HCP training posters, package and lifestyle photography, internet banner ads and a consumer traing video.

Designed and produced a literature set of consumer diabetes care information in Japanese for the Japanese branch office.

Production managed the retouching of 300 images for an ecommerce website, coordinating workflow between client, agency and retoucher.

In the spring of 2008 I identified an opportunity to introduce Churchill to emerging high tech and biotech companies. I attended the convention as Churchill's rep and successfully followed up to point of arrangement of introductory meetings with a biotech/consumer wellness category firm and a biotech/hospital infection control firm.
