Award-winning designer and Founder/Creative Director for YA/NA publishing company REUTS Publications.
Pronounced |root s|:
REUTS is an independent publisher– a hybrid of self-publishing and traditional methods. We offer the control of self-publishing while still providing the team of experts you would expect from a traditional publisher.
I manage a team as we move a manuscript through the acquisitions phase, into the production of a tangible book. I also lead the design team as Creative Director, focused on book cover art and the promotional material that goes along with it.
Design, develop, & host web sites using latest coding techniques & e-marketing trends.
Design & develop print materials.
Consult & manage further e-marketing efforts.
I have worked with over 100 small to medium sized businesses with their branding and marketing needs.
The technological world is structured very similarly to a natural environment; survival of the fittest, where the most adaptable reign. When it comes to design, the same applies. It’s a process of evolution; having the ability to mold to the latest techniques, styles and function. To be able to stand out from the rest, you have to understand the environment that surrounds you. CM has become a part of that natural progression of the technological world, engulfing ourselves in the unique designs we create, as well as learning from those others produce. CM designs embody nature, herself… organic, living, evolving.
I have worked on clients such as Citgo Light Oils and Lubricants, Funjet Vacations, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines. My main responsibilities include website design projects, Flash banner design and animation, weekly e-mail creation, content integration, etc...
z2 is about building long-term relationships with our clients. we’re dedicated to remaining a boutique shop – a firm where the owners work on every project and you get über creativity without the über price tag.
