Jim Jeffers’s Summary
As a self taught-designer and developer with over eight years of professional experience in web and print, I took a detour in college and focused my formal education at ASU with a concentration in business marketing. I'm now fresh out of school and focusing on continually pushing forward to provide the best work I'm capable of while learning as much as I can.

Creative Director
JLT Mobile Computers, inc.
(Public Company; 11-50 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)
June 2003 — August 2006 (3 years 3 months)
I completely revamped the company's visual marketing providing them with a rugged yet clean brand image. I worked extensively to implement the branding consistently across all utilized media.
Behind the scenes I redeveloped the corporate web-site from the ground up to make it manageable by the staff and search engine friendly. In addition I developed a corporate intranet tool in PHP / MySQL completely from scratch. This tool included custom web applications, which allowed sales team to perform sales forecasting and reports, control logistics of demo system inventory, share and keep all collateral up to date in a shared document portal.
Last but not least I worked extensively with others in the organization to build custom tools that could integrate with the implementation of Syspro ERP. I helped fill the gaps that the software couldn't provide for the company developing small webapplications that tied into the ERP's SQL Server. -
