HELLO OUT THERE! 

I'm Ken Palmer, aka PYXL8R, as in "pixelator"… one who deals in pixels. For 2025, I’m actively seeking a new company in which I can thrive. Presently I am freelancing, but that's not ideal – I need a "real" job again, even a part-time one!!

I've been recently downsized but I'm still active in the graphic design realm, and offer my extensive experience as an art director, marketing design manager, presentation ninja, and magazine designer. I’m also a fine artist, electronic musician, live concert projection visualist, and a life-long dabbler in many odd and creative things. 

ELEVATOR PITCH

I’m an Adobe InDesign pro-level user with 25 years of experience with the software, a rare PowerPoint-conquering ninja, and a templating expert with lightning-fast skills in both applications. I can write, edit, proofread, and I possess a quick wit and sense of humor that’s used (mostly) for good as a staff stress reducer.

SKILLS

• Decades of advertising and publishing expertise in fast-paced corporate and agency environments. 
• Expert-level experience with Adobe Creative Cloud: InDesign, InCopy, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, and the Mac OS-X environment.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (with ninja-level formatting and template expertise in PowerPoint) on both Mac and Windows platforms.
• Current with print production technologies and workflow systems.
• Ability to multitask, and to work independently as well as collaboratively with design/edit/sales staff.
• Efficient planning and accurate execution of assignments under demanding deadlines.
• Strong writing, editing, proofreading, and verbal communication skills.
• Side interests: I create fine art, record and perform electronic music and concert visuals, and organize and engineer multiple live multimedia concert events.
