Hire the Best Photoshop Experts in Saint Augustine, FL

A good image can be made better, but in the right hands, with the right editor, a good image can be made outstanding! Applying the highest standards of excellence, regardless of the size of the project or the client -- every project I undertake will always be given the utmost care to ensure the highest quality and dynamic design. I work quickly and efficiently and I consider strong communication with my clients the core of my business. After many years doing photo editing as part of my graphic design projects, I have decided to make that my main career. I take each image on its own merits and do not simply run a preset or macro to bang out images fast. The goal is to bring out the best in the photograph. My experience with graphic design also gives me a good knowledge of what makes images work. Interaction with my clients to assess their needs and requirements is the just the starting point. The project is then developed keeping those requirements in the forefront. With extensive work experience, my projects have included almost every aspect of graphic design, including print media (newspaper/magazine ads, brochures, posters, press kits, logo/corporate identity design, etc.), outdoor advertising, television animation and design (complete show graphic design, news graphics, animation) and website/flash design.

I’m an Industrial Designer, Footwear Designer, Product Developer with broad experience helping companies design and develop footwear and other products. In a bigger sense, I help brands grow their market share, satisfy customers and increase profits by generating new revenue streams with competitive high-value high margin products. For the first 10 years of my career, I was a Product Designer, Design Engineer and Project Manager focused on manufacturing, cost, quality, and ergonomics in the Ceilings, Housewares, and Marine industries. This is where I became exposed to Engineering, Science, and R&D and developed a love of materials, solving problems and building things - on the shop floor, working with engineers, craftsmen, and factory workers to improve quality while optimizing production and manufacturability issues for existing products while developing new products. In 2000 I entered the fast-paced Footwear Industry, coordinating, designing and developing, working daily with and traveling to factories in Asia and South America. Still working with technical development, tooling, manufacturing, production, quality, and cost, but now also dealing with fashion and how products fit on the human body, technical materials for comfort, performance and sustainability. My 20+ years of experience in the Footwear and Apparel Industry includes working with retailers, corporate global brands, licensed brands such as Cole Haan, Kenneth Cole, Ninewest, Easyspirit, Sperry, And1, Avia, Everlast as well as startups, inventors and working as an expert witness in the legal realm. My main focus has been Designing, Technical Development, Line Building, Merchandising, Trend Research, Brand Strategy, Sourcing, Manufacturing and fitting, and I have been involved in commercializing thousands of products from concept thru to production, including contributing to several footwear patents. My greatest value to you will be as an advisor, helping to guide you and your footwear brand by listening to your situation and giving you the reality of what you're facing - the pros and cons, to help you make the best decisions to move forward, selecting the right materials, finding the best fit factory and then developing prototypes, samples and then getting to production. For real solutions to design, development, costing, fitting, sourcing, quality issues and more, you need more than an illustrator/sketcher/designer. That's where I can help you the most. I do sketch and create illustrations, but there's a lot more to footwear design and development than just that. I'm available for phone/video consultations, one time or weekly for just a few hours if that's all you need, or more for ongoing questions and answers. I look forward to hearing from you to discover what it is you need help with. Buy an hour of my time so we can discuss your project and I can give you an idea of what will be involved, some of the pitfalls you may face, and reveal the process that works, as well as likely costs en route to production. Once we are through that, if you have more questions or specifics you need to dig into to start the process or to solve issues, or even to evaluate your current shoes and chart a course forward, I suggest we start a project based on a set number of hours per biweekly or monthly period, and we can tackle issues as needed. I also know all about CAD and 3d Printing, and we can go that route if thats needed, but often times this is not a critical tool in the process. I can explain on our call. I look forward to speaking with you and helping you move forward!
