J.D. Killebrew
Graphic Designer / Audio-Video Editor / Localization Specialist
Portland / Vancouver
TL;DR:
Skilled graphic designer with 15+ years of experience in multimedia design, project management, and team leadership within the creative services industry. Proven track record in managing production teams and delivering high-quality marketing materials for multinational clients. Adept at mentoring talent and driving successful project outcomes.
From time to time, I also enjoy oil painting and watching ridiculous low-budget movies.A little more:
I went to art school twice. I even studied design and art history in Italy at one point. I began my career as an in-house designer, creating package design, marketing materials, and blog posts. Later, I moved into agency life, working on a bit of everything, including audio/video editing. I then pivoted to localization, where I did all of the aforementioned things, but in many other languages. I like a challenge.More! More! More!:
I can’t swim, not even with arm floaties and an inflatable zebra. My favorite smells are coffee and petrichor. I have never seen “The Godfather” movie trilogy, but I know every line from “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” As a musician, I once had the chance to perform under the Eiffel Tower. I wear glasses not to look smart, but because my eyes are broken. And lastly, I have a small indoor jungle of houseplants. Would you like one or five?Software:
