Bleu Caldwell’s Summary
I have over ten years of experience in print design and production. Approximately seven of those years were with the Medical Library Association as the in-house Graphic Designer. This experience allowed me to hone my skills in print production while working within tight deadlines and managing multiple projects. I have worked with all of the leading design software on both the Mac and the PC, and am familiar with maintaining both platforms. I also have a culinary degree and am interested in design work within the food and beverage industry.
I am known as a team player and a strong communicator, who can work independently when it is required. My work is both organized and detail-oriented and I learn quickly, enjoying the challenge. These experiences and attributes, when combined, make for a great mid- to senior-level designer.
