Have you heard the one about the graphic designer with over 25 years of experience that just wanted to use his creative skills and experience for clients or companies that were making a difference in individual lives and in the world?
That’s me. I’ve worked for a university, a tech company that eventually sold for nearly $2 billion to Adobe, a small marketing firm, several direct sales companies, an e-commerce health food company, and I’ve been doing freelance under the name Pendleton Creative since 2002. I’ve been a senior design, art director, creative director, and recently I’ve even filled the role of marketing director. While I’m proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite, my main tools are Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
At this point in my career I’m less concerned about ego or big titles than I am about using my talents, skills and experience to contribute to companies and causes that are impacting lives and communities and industries for good.
As a freelance graphic designer I have had clients in dozens of different industries, including but not limited to: health and wellness, tech, medical (nanomedicine), education, health food, dental, non-profit, startups, offender corrections, politics, aeronautics, children’s nutrition, weight-loss, sports (golf, rugby, soccer, etc.), music and performing arts, religious education, real estate, banking, automotive, sales, pest control, delivery services, beauty and skin care, bedding and apparel. I'm versatile and can adjust my design to fit any brand look and feel as well as tailoring my work to a specific target audience.
Because of this broad range of client experience, my ability to be a self-starter in a remote work setting, and my communication skills and leadership experience in past full-time, contract and volunteer positions, I believe I would be a valuable asset for any company or client.
