Some people spend a lifetime looking for a career that makes them happy.
I’ve been fortunate: I’ve spent MOST of my life in a career – DESIGN – that gives me true joy. The kind of joy that has me emailing samples of my work to my wife, in the middle of the day, to show her my latest and greatest masterpiece.
My career has spanned three decades, in which I have acquired a vast treasure trove of experience and knowledge. I have used this knowledge to improve the skills of those who’ve worked above me, for me, and with me. I have designed multi-million dollar proposals and presentations to Disney and Lockheed Martin, as well as meeting materials for Medical Education companies like CC Ford Healthcare, Togorun, and Hospicom, and confidential financial presentations for private equity firms like Kohlberg & Company, TowerBrook, and Aisling Capital.
The experience doesn’t end there: In the past two years, I have written a winning proposal to the City of New York for an environmental signage project, and then proceeded to manage every aspect of the project, from conceptualization to design execution, client review/approval, production, and installation.
I was also responsible for a proposal to create a Scientific web app for Johnson & Johnson Vision. Upon winning the contract, I designed the UI/UX and worked with a developer to produce a communications portal with hundreds of references and source files.
Majid M. Padellan is that rare candidate who possesses a wealth of experience in print production, design, creative writing, marketing, project management, and Art Direction. I approach each project with enthusiasm and a sense of endless optimism: for me, there is no such thing as “cannot.”
Although I *cannot* WAIT to show you what I can do.
