Lori Sampson’s Summary

Experience, speed, instinct and background!

No matter how well a project is planned, its success depends on the people who make it happen. If one of the team comes up missing, give me a call and keep the ball rolling! Years of experience give me the capability to walk into the middle of a project without missing a beat.

-- Three decades in the Commercial Art Industry.

-- Traditional design and print background with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree in Commercial Art.

-- Freelance independent contractor since 1987 and using the Apple Macintosh since 1986.

-- Proficient in production, image manipulation and design.

-- Current graphics software: InDesign, QuarkXPress, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Professional, and Extensis Portfolio. And current experience with PageMaker, FileMaker Pro, DreamWeaver, and Microsoft Word.

-- Clients include many leading Twin Cities Ad Agencies and other companies: Campbell Mithun Esty; BBDO; Bozell Kamstra, Inc.; Yamamoto Moss; Tad Ware and Company; Century Graphics; Go East Design; ABZ Group; Rowdy Creative; U.S. Communications; FCB Impact; General Mills; Musicland; Prism Marketing; The Art Studio; EDI Partners; Wilson Learning Corporation; Business Incentives and many more.

-- Comfortable working on-site or from my fully equipped studio.
On Site… I bring with me experience, speed and instinct! Each company or agency is unique, yet with my many years of experience I can walk into a graphics department for the first time and immediately feel at home. I can sit-in for an absent employee or join a team for a special project.
My Studio… Fully equipped with licensed software to include Adobe Creative Suite and many others. Hardware includes multiple high-end Mac desktop systems and laptop. File transfer can be accomplished on CD, DVD, or by high-speed Internet.
