From file
to finished.

I help printers, sign companies, creative teams, and businesses turn approved artwork into accurate, production-ready files. My focus is prepress, large-format production, file preparation, troubleshooting, and making sure creative work survives the transition from screen to physical product.

Orangetheory Fitness — Environmental Graphics Production

While working at Temeka Group, I prepared and produced large-format environmental graphics for an Orangetheory Fitness studio. Working from approved brand artwork and field dimensions, I handled the prepress and production setup required to translate the supplied creative into full-scale vinyl graphics for the physical space. The project included perforated window graphics, interior wall graphics, and storefront/door graphics.

Process: Client Artwork to Print-Ready Production

This project shows the production work behind a motocross graphics kit. Starting with client-supplied artwork, I organized and prepared the individual graphic pieces in Adobe Illustrator, separated print and cut information, and built a clean production layout ready for output. The screen recording below shows the actual prepress work, followed by the final production-ready layout.

About

The work behind the finished product.

I'm a production artist and prepress professional focused on the technical side of graphic production.

Much of my work begins after the creative concept has already been approved. My job is to make sure that artwork is accurate, organized, scalable, printable, and ready for real-world production.

I work with creative teams, print environments, sign production, and businesses that need someone who understands what happens between the design file and the finished product.
