Beyond the technical proficiencies required by the graphic design industry and requisite qualifications to step in and make immediate contributions, I am a problem solver and idea generator who is capable of directing a project from its concept stages to design completion. For me, being a graphic designer is more than a job it is who I am. As a communicator I under stand the importance of an effective message and I have the initiative to deliver continuous improvements in efficiency, quality, profit and creativity. I have had the opportunity to experience many diverse sides of the graphic design field, from advertising to teaching and more recently as a Production Manager for a printing company in New York City — supervising, coordinating with outside vendors, proofing projects, managing time frames and budgets. Please visit my website to preview some of my design projects: www.vegagraphicdesign.com Resume and references available upon request.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– WILLIAM MACK INTRODUCTION & PROFILE –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– If you’re seeking a highly accomplished, adaptable, and hands-on creative, well-versed in all facets of the retail industry, with numerous achievements in the direction and implementation of brand development, packaging and B2B/B2C market share enforcement... please read on. As you’ll see in the next couple of pages, I’ve excelled in a multitude of consumer packaged goods industries, including Consumer Electronics, Pet Products, Sporting Goods, Toys/Gaming, Lawn & Garden, Foods/Supplements, Pharmaceuticals, Entertainment, Finance, and Publishing. By working with such a diverse range of products in a variety of creative environments (agencies, manufacturer in-house and manufacturer/client direct self-employment), I’ve developed an equally diverse range of creative capabilities. Additionally, working face-to-face with company principals and department heads of product development, production/filling and marketing/sales, I’ve acquired an in-depth understanding of the challenges each discipline faces when bringing a product to market. It’s this insider’s experience of a product’s full life cycle before and after the art department that influences virtually every decision during every phase of creative development. Ultimately, it’s a foundation very few creatives can draw upon and an asset clients quickly embrace.

Based solely on visual impact, the new design consistently outperformed all competitors (Hartz, Wagon Train, Salix and Dingo). As a result, the client chose to introduce the new look as their Mass Market Brand. Focus Study available. •Played an integral role in the rapid growth of a start-up pet treat supply company. Their success and continued growth was due, in part, to overwhelming consumer and buyer appeal that was captured by developing very unique branding and packaging approaches for several of their lines. •Awarded Best New Package at American Pet Products Manufacturers’ Association (APPMA), the pet industry’s premier B2B convention. •Designed a private-label home theater speaker cabinet for Pinnacle Speakers. The design was a key component in helping Pinnacle secure JVC as its primary private-label client which accounted for nearly 40% of their earnings. •Developed a pet treat delivery food puzzle product for one of the most highly respected and sought-after veterinary consultants in the pet products industry. The client was able to launch the product by securing a zero-risk partnership with the largest hard goods pet product manufacturer in the United States. •Received Walmart’s Product of the Month award by re-branding a single SKU in a line of over forty different products. Within one month of its launch, sales increased by more than 300%. The growth was attributed solely to the product’s improved visual impact. As a result, the entire line was refaced. •Received multiple awards for “Best New Package” at APPMA, the pet industry’s premier B2B convention. •During my tenure, Eight In One grew from less than $10 million in annual sales to more than $50 million in just a few years. Though the company employed several hundred people, fewer than 20 of us were considered to be key contributors to its rapid sustainable growth and were awarded sizeable compensation in the form of pre-public shares.

I have an Honours Degree in Conservation Biology and Ecology, with 5 years experience in scientific report writing, statistical multivariate data analysis and research. I have a keen skill for detailed and concise writing and am able to interpret an extensive repertoire of information relating to ecological, taxonomic, cytological, morphological and behavioural data in a short amount of time. I am very familiar with a range of scientific laboratory procedures and techniques relating to animal physiology (dissection, for morphological and electrophysiology investigation), botanical morphology, cell biology and genetics as well as an extensive range of field techniques for ecological investigation. I enjoy and am confident with a range of statistical data programmes. I have many years experience taking nature photographs, particularly of interest entomology, floral anatomy and mycology. I also do a bit of screen printing and digital art, just for personal enjoyment.
