Passion
...
Simply
put - creation. My passion is to create. A company, a design, a concept,
a song, or a process that flows. My work, my best work has always been
when I am allowed and able to create. From my days as an art student to
my songwriter years into my digital artistry - my simple passion was to
create. I still find myself searching for new ways to create. |

Who
is Le Sheppard ...
Digital
Artist with 25 years experience in every level of the print, publishing,
and the creative industry (from management to speed print to prepress to
design). Detail oriented with client relations experience, computer skills
and creative insight. Demonstrated success in productivity improvement,
client service, sales and meeting deadlines. An artist with enthusiasm
for client satisfaction and corporate success. With all my vast experience
in design, hi-end production, prepress, system management and beyond, I
bring to the creative and business table a true sense and understanding
of creativity and all the processes, not only in the design/artist eye
for detail and style, but in problem solving, project and personnel management
as well. |
