July 2022 - Present
BMS Print & Sign - Operations Manager
I use Adobe programs to create designs for my clients and to prepare print files for printing and finishing. I also operate and manage over 15 printing and finishing machines and I study and teach my colleagues how to operate new machines that we add into our business. I work closely with clients such as artists Desmon Burdon and Anna Crichton and businesses like Safestore Containers, Megan Edwards Architects, and many more. I mostly ran the business on my own – doing not only the production side but also administration, customer service and even rebranding our business with a new logo and building a new website from scratch.
