In my role within the music industry, my specialty and expertise has been designing album packaging and cover art. Employed by Universal Music Canada over six years, I have been responsible for the official album packaging design for our roster of artists.
As the senior designer/art director, this encompasses a wide range of tasks including graphic design, brand identity, logo design, typography, layout, materials, and printing techniques.
Additionally, I am responsible to accurately fill-out detailed submission forms, pre-flight files, and ensure file set-up is organized and clear across all vinyl, CD, and cassette packaging. I also secure the artist's approval on the overall creative direction.
I collaborate and coordinate extensively with various departments including creative, A&R, marketing, management, and print production. My responsibilities include ensuring and guiding all aspects of the project are aligned and meet the necessary touchpoints.
