Graphic Designer

In 1990 I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Journalism and a cognate in Graphic Design. I love to write but I got my first job as a graphic designer for a hotel management group in Columbia, SC. This was an in house agency so I learned design but not much about printing. From there I moved back home to Sumter, SC to a small printing company where I learned that some of the stuff I had learned to do as a designer was a nightmare for a printing company to print. From there I moved to Charleston, SC and went to work for another small printing company with a total of five employees. Here I learned how to expand my creativity to benefit our customers. After three years, I made a small detour to South Florida to another small printing company. Five years later I moved again and was welcomed back with open arms to the same Charleston printing company. But it wasn’t the same small printing company I had left - in those short few years Ross Printing had gone from five employees to over fifteen and we kept growing which meant I had to stay on top of my game. Every day is a new challenge for being creative so you can make your customer happy and look good and that is what I strive for. The words that are music to my ears is when I hear a customer say “That is exactly what I was looking for.”
