Technical drawings for manufacturing and print production was a key responsibility while at Almetek Industries, Inc.

Over the course of 6 years as the Art & Die Dept. Manager, I generated more than 6000 technical drawings. Collaborating closely with various departments, I strategically designed products with a focus on optimizing the manufacturing process. Given that a significant portion of our products catered to the utility industry, I acquired a comprehensive understanding of ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations.

This role required a combination of graphic design, manufacturing, and engineering knowledge. It was critical to have a technical mind and an eye for detail.

In addition to my role as the designer, I assumed leadership responsibilities in management of the print production department, overseeing a team of 4-5 individuals. This aspect of my role honed my leadership skills as I navigated tight deadlines, resolved issues through troubleshooting, and upheld rigorous standards of quality control—a routine practice in such a dynamic and demanding environment.
