I have been designing on the creative side of the marketing and advertising industry for over 35 years. Starting as a Stat-Rat in the 1980's, working my way up to Art Department Manger in the 1990's, then Creative Director in the 2000's. I have gained experience working on Fortune 1000 clients at large advertising agencies as well as working on small mom-and-pop shops through my own marketing business. Giving all clients the same high level of design strategy and respect.

Over the years, my passion has been building and managing strong company brands then strategically developing them throughout all platforms, including:

all forms of print
website interfaces
kiosk interfaces
app interfaces
social media
TV commercials
art directing photo shoots
packaging
signage
store displays

I also took much pride in the late 1980's teaching a Graphic Design class at Northeastern University in Boston. Helping students learn the trade and pursue design jobs in the industry.

Making the change from manual-based design to the digital tools of today has been an exhilarating ride. The saying, "keep up or get left behind," had new meaning in the 1990's and 2000's. I loved my craft enough to keep up with all the new technology and it was worth doing so. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next!

I appreciate your taking the time to read my story and look over my resume. If more details are needed, I would look forward to a face-to-face interview.

Best Regards,
Susan Mitchell
