About me

I have recently been made redundant from Hasbro as a Studio/Graphic Production Manager where I was responsible for ensuring that all packaging artwork and printable internal elements for Hasbro's games portfolio was released to manufacturing on time and to schedule for the whole of Europe. This involved managing a team of Production Artists, Graphic Designers, Proof Readers and Coordinators to ensure that our aggressive schedules were met and that artwork was localised for approximately 40+ European markets.

I was responsible for ensuring that all manufacturing repro/print standards were met as well as supplying final sign off on all artwork before it was sent to print. I have extensive experience in printing processes and liaising directly with factories and printers in US, Ireland and the Far East.

As well as having vast experience of working for a global blue chip organisation, I have also worked within an agency environment which covered all aspects of design from marketing collateral, web design and POS displays to rebranding and digital online presence (including social media and video). I have also worked within an in-house creative services department that managed the company's POS, marketing collateral and promotional video requirements.

My 23 years' experience within various areas of the creative industry has always required a high level of project management skills due to all projects being schedule and deadline driven. I feel that my scheduling/project and people management experience and my keen eye for detail are assets that would strongly support this role. I am constantly looking for new ways to improve process and productivity to reduce timelines and improve efficiency.
