I am a Senior Art Producer who helps bring creative ideas to life. I am responsible for creating all forms of artwork on all levels of media for National, Brochure, Collateral, P.O.S., Direct Mail, Pre-Launch Assets and Image Libraries covering needs for print, digital and social media. I am extremely efficient in understanding account budgets and adhere to process and procedure. I work closely with both the creative department and print production department to insure that the needs of production are equally on target. It is the Art Producer's job to protect both Agency and Clients from potential litigation relating to usage issues and insure that proper rights, clearances are secured and managed. I negotiate estimates as low as possible without compromising the creative integrity of the project. Triple bid and create bid presentations for Cost Control Consultants prior to presenting estimates for client approval. Insure that all aspects of the job stays on budget and schedule, as well as, oversee the production of Photo Shoots, CGI Images, Illustrations, Storyboard Art and through the completion of the retouching process. I manage all areas of photography production from the agency side, this means establishing schedules, routing approvals of all production elements (location, talent etc.) between the Photographer and Art Director. Coordinating production meetings, and troubleshooting any concerns that may arise at the shoot or during production. I audit all final invoices prior to submitting to finance and work closely with the team to honor billing rules and guidelines. I present myself well and maintain positive relationships with clients, cost control consultants, vendors and co-workers. I also have a comprehensive knowledge of current photography, illustration and multi-media trends and styles. I love research! Whatever the need I always find the right vendor for the project.
