# Shawn Padgett > Packaging Print Production Manager Location: Petaluma, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shawnpadgett My passion has always been print production design, the nuts & bolts that support good design. With over 20 years experience in the graphic design industry I bring an excellent eye for design while maintaining excellent attention to detail. I have always thrived on bringing leadership a company can count on to bring difficult jobs to completion before deadline & on budget. As the Senior Print Production Designer for Trinchero Family Estates & with CF Napa, I oversaw and ensured every project was produced with the highest quality standards. I managed high volume production schedules, workflow, vendor relations, recommended design choices, print methods per project, provide print proof approvals, and attended press checks. I worked directly with art directors, and senior designers and ensured all projects were produced for clients as intended, meeting and exceeding expectations. Additionally I provided budget recommendations to the CEO & CFO to ensure all design and production standards are kept current or advanced as needed. It was a pleasure to work at both Trinchero Family Estates and CF Napa & be a part of teams that have won numerous awards for excellence in packaging and design. As a Senior Print Production Artist at Camelbak for their in-house creative department, I was responsible for maintaining premium standards for all printing and overseeing packaging, POS, print ads, and custom print production. I was a liaison and coordinator to domestic & international print vendors as well that provided our custom & collateral printing for both recreational and military products. While with CytoSport I served as the in-house creative department Print Production Manager. In this very fast-paced, high-volume work environment I managed and helped produce a broad range of domestic & international packaging, marketing & digital web assets. This very diverse work environment allowed me to use a broad range of my production skills allowing me to help our team achieve the highest standards in packaging, design and marketing. While with Mez Design, as the Senior Print Production Manager, I had the privilege to manage & produce some unique, fun and exceptional packaging, collateral, and catalog pieces for Leap Frog, Black Angus Restaurants, Wells Fargo, Levi’s, & Mary’s Pizza Shack to name a few. This diversity of clients helped me develop a broad range of design and production skills. Additionally my experience working within a print house at the start of my career as a pre-press operator provided me an invaluable foundation for design & print production. ## Work Experience ### Senior Print Production Designer @ Cookies Jan 2020 – Present | United States ### Senior Production Designer @ Trinchero Family Estates Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Napa, California ### Senior Print Production Artist @ CF Napa Brand Design Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Napa, California ### Production Print Specialist @ CamelBak Jan 2014 – Jan 2018 | United States ### Print Production Manager @ CytoSport, Inc.
