If work volumes pile up, I can bring in additional support under my supervision to maintain the required pace and to meet any and all deadlines. I am currently working with Adobe Creative Suite 5 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign,) and QuarkXpress. When asked to provide web and interactive services, I provide administrative and creative direction to a strategic partner in accordance with the project needs. A brief synopsis of my professional background: I have over 30 years of experience in advertising and promotion, illustration and graphic design. My career started in New York where I worked with many of Madison Avenue's top consumer agencies from 1982-1985 as an art director, designer, design director and studio artist. The agencies included J. Walter Thompson, Benton and Bowles, and Wells, Rich and Greene. I entered the scientific and healthcare advertising community while in New York in 1985, and have worked in that specialized area of marketing ever since. I became a partner at Dugan/Farley Communications in Upper Saddle River, NJ, in 1992, which was the same year that DFC became the healthcare arm of consumer agency Wells, Rich and Greene. I left DFC in 1994 and began providing advertising and graphic design services to a broad range of clients using the name DTS Design Group. At the same time, I began working with a group of marketing professionals who I had come to know over the years, and became one member of a core group of strategic alliances comprising an “agency without walls", specializing in scientific and healthcare corporate and product promotion.
