MICHAEL CHAMORRO
PRODUCTION DESIGN | CONSULTING | GOOD TIMES
About
I crank out final mechanicals, and I’ve been doing it for a long time.
I am a high-level production designer with a meticulous eye for detail and craftsmanship. I have a deep understanding of the printing process and the organizational chops to handle complex campaign deliverables.
I have built everything from small space digital banners to hundred-page books, to large-scale OOH pieces, and everything in between. I am as comfortable building mechanicals and resizing assets as I am overseeing integrated campaigns.
Years of experience have taught me to recognize snags before they arise, thereby being able to mitigate obstacles quickly. I work well in a cross-functional environment as I am a strong team player, an efficient communicator, an active listener and a true problem solver. I am never afraid to admit what I don’t know and am always open to learning new things.
RESUME
ADULTING
I made an intentional decision to take a hiatus from work to focus on raising my three children and help my aging parents navigate their lives. I am extremely grateful for the space to support this decision and excited to get back in the game.
