Painchaud-Nash
With more than fourteen years of direct experience in a pre-press and print shop environment,
my 30+ years of experience in the print industry allows me work seamlessly on both Macintosh and PC platforms. My knowledge of design and layout software is extensive. A combination of University and College certificates adds to my portfolio of skills that are easily transferable to many situations.

Previous work experience provides me the experience with scheduling jobs and staffing requirements to complete projects, all the while developing strong organization and problem-solving skills and analytical abilities. My understanding of the entire print process is solid with hands-on experience at every stage from conceptualization, marketing, market research, planning, design, printing, bindery, mailing and shipping. A freelance business sharpens all project management skills ranging from customer service, marketing, budgeting, and deadline achievement. Experience with branding and concept planning further advances my skill set, along with bidding, tendering and contract negotiation. Having received LEAN training, I am continuously looking for cost- and time-reduction methods to increase productivity and to create cost-saving opportunities.
Volunteering with various organizations and committees continuously develops my skills for marketing, communications and fundraising opportunities. Personal interests and volunteer positions have refined skills for planning, media preparation and purchasing, organizing and promoting large events.
