Jackie Powell’s Summary

I have 11 years of full-time experience working in the advertising industry--first as creative director at an ad agency, then as an in-house designer at a construction firm, and finally as owner of a full-service marketing firm. I enjoy designing publications--making information readable and eye-pleasing--whether as a catalog, annual report, brochure, newsletter or book.

Additionally, through the launch of the "Baby in the Bluegrass" book, I have gained publishing experience through the coordination of copywriting, photography, printing, distribution, email marketing, and trade show display.
