Work History

Production Manager

Firefly Graphics
05.2010 - Current

Managed the print and production of high quality graphics including banners, signs, vinyl wraps, trade show and fabric displays, and large commercial contracts for retail displays.


Oversaw the operation and maintenance of multiple large format printers, plotters, cnc cutters, sewing machines, and vinyl welders.


Worked directly with the Sales department to provide solutions for their clients including production scheduling, recommendations for material, installation options, finishing methods, and color matching.


Collaborated with Design/Pre-press team on print file setup to ensure proper finishing and color results.


Created and maintained a color management system on multiple printers and media by creating ICC profiles and running scheduled calibrations.


Ordered all supplies and material and constantly evaluated vendor performance and prices to ensure we received quality materials at the best price. I also created an inventory and organization system for all print materials, ink, consumables, and finishing supplies.


Resolved all technical issues with equipment including printers, cutters, sewing machines, finishing equipment, and computers (both hardware and software). This ranged from coordinating parts and technician visits as part of a warranty/service plan to diagnosing issues, ordering parts, and making repairs myself. This also includes setting up and learning to operate newly purchased equipment, often without manufacturer training.


Continually developed and refined printing, finishing, and packaging processes as the company has grown. I implemented processes to streamline production at multiple points and maintain quality on all jobs ranging from a single banner order to multi-million dollar commercial projects.


Collaborated with the owner and sales lead to set up and launch workflow system software to ensure jobs ran smoothly through all departments.
