Tim Lucas’s Summary
A senior web design team leader with wide and comprehensive experience covering all aspects of design development and management from client brief to implementation and roll-out.
After graduating with a BFA in Graphic Design, iPIX provided the perfect training ground to refine and practice the skills necessary to design, build and maintain successful websites. These skills were extended further with CTI (Siemens Medical) where, in addition to my responsibility for the corporate website, my role included the directing of external design agencies and photo shoots to the development of trade show panels and printed marketing materials. My recent marketing-focused activities at Jewelry Television has completed the picture, with responsibility for generating regular, response-driven communications in a dynamic and fast-moving e-commerce environment. Heading the promotional design team has been immensely rewarding and given me the appetite for future design management responsibilities.
