Jerry McClellan’s Summary
You deserve the very best. I am confident that my professional hands-on experience and formal education will make a tremendous contribution. I am easy going, well mannered and have a great sense of humor. I work under pressure well and always seek to over deliver in everything I do. I have experience working closely with CEOs, business owners and managers, always giving my utmost respect, along with earnest and honest feedback.
My experience spans many industries, from apparel and packaging to real estate marketing. I have been fortunate enough to teach adult education within the graphic design profession as well, having taught introductory courses in Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark Express, and Graphic Design principles. I have had the opportunity to function in a variety of environments and diverse settings making it easy to adapt to new situations and work-flow concepts. My clients and colleagues have recognized that I always create constructive and effective working relationships, creating best practices through critical thinking.
