Senior Graphic Designer / Character Designer

With over 28 years of graphic design and illustration experience I will bring insight, smart creativity, industry knowledge, and positive energy to your team. I started my career in NYC at TBWA/ChiatDay. one of the most creative ad agencies of all time and then after moving to Georgia, opened and operated the graphic design firm DS Cook Design. Most recently I was senior artist/art manager with a a team of eight at Crater's OshKosh, the nation's largest children's apparel company and am presently a senior designer at Kids II, one of the fastest growing toy companies in the world.

I have learned from many amazing designers over the years by working with different art teams and clients - building exciting brand appropriate artwork while bringing fresh techniques and styles that are on trend. Through all of my years of creative jobs I have also excelled at the detailed work of production to finiah the job on time and on budget. I want to work for a company that values creativity and believes in the possibilities of what that creativity can do to build the brand as a whole.

I will hit the ground running - thank you for your consideration.
You can contact me through email or my cell phone. See attached portfolio samples.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully yours
